I'm not good enough to be playin' much acoustic guitar onstage. Man, you gotta get so right; I mean, the tones, the feel, the sound. Plus, acoustic blues guitar is just that much harder on the fingers.
I really appreciate when someone can blow me away with live acoustic blues.
T-Bone Walker was a big influence on just about every guitar player around.
There were a whole lot, I bought every blues record I could find, it wasn't just one or two people. My vocal influences were Ray Charles and Bobby Blue Bland.
When I started workin' with Muddy. That convinced me that I could get away with doin' the blues.
Well, one of the best things is workin' with Muddy.
Derek Trucks is a real good new artist. He's a young guy.
I always wanted to play music and have it be my career and knew this by the age of 12.
