“In September 2012, I got the blues pretty bad, so I stopped playing for a little while. I started to renew my playing by the time February of 2013 came around. I would go up and rehearse to different songs, play stuff like Count Basie records, jazz or rap.”

“When I write, there's always an image, sometimes a color attached to what's being created. I am delighted with the captured expressions - from my head and my heart. Their arrival onto canvas is beautiful.”

“I love Black Sabbath's music.”

“But I did that, and I created another blues scene, another something I can sing about.”

“My grandfather is a blues musician.”

“My guitar heroes are Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck and people like that - so I've tried to make an album of Robert Johnson covers that, well, while not totally faithful for blues purists, is faithful for people like me that grew up with the '60s and the electric blues-rock versions of Johnson's songs.”
