Elvis deserves a lot of credit for bringing the blues to middle America, not the Vegas stuff. The early stuff, The Sun records, and the first few RCA records. He was wonderful, he had the power, the drive, and he was so dedicated to his music. ↗

When you grow up in the music industry, trying to be Britney Spears because that's what sells records and then you realize, 'All I have to do is be myself? I should have thought of that a long time ago,' it feels good to have success come from what's actually inside of you. ↗

Pessimism and optimism are slammed up against each other in my records, the tension between them is where it's all at, it's what lights the fire. ↗

When I first started in rock, I had a big guy's audience for my early records. I had a very straight image, particularly through the mid '80s. ↗

Yeah; I'm a much better blues player than anybody knows, but being in the kind of group I'm in, we were always trying to make popular records. ↗
