A Few Years Ago, I

When I Sing For Myself, I Probably Sing For Anyone Who Has Any Kind Of Hurt, Any Kind Of Bad Feelings, Good Feelings, Ups And Downs, Highs And Lows, That Kind Of Thing.

A Lot Of People Think The Blues Is Depressing But That's Not The Blues I'm Singing. When I'm Singing Blues, I Singing Life. People Can't Stand To Listen To The Blues, They've Got To Be Phonies.

The Only Time That I Am Really Truly Happy—when I Feel At My Best—is When I'm On The Stage.

I Figured I Could Do "it's A Man's, Man's, Man's World" Because I Believe It's The Truth.

It's Not About Battling The Original Artists When I Record These Songs, It's About Paying Tribute To Them.
