“Actually we used bands like Mad Dogs & Englishmen, Delaney & Bonnie, a...” — Susan Tedeschi Quote

Actually we used bands like Mad Dogs & Englishmen, Delaney & Bonnie, and Derek & the Dominos as a template.

Well, honestly, Derek - to me, there is no other guitar player out there like him.

Being a woman, you feel like, 'Oh my gosh, everything has to be just right, your kids and this and that.' But there's no way you can control everything.

When I first was playing the first couple records, I had other jobs too, just trying to pay rent and everything.

My first solo band, the foundation was myself, Adrienne Hayes, who was my guitarist, and Little Annie Raines, who was my harmonica player. The three of us fronted that band. We started in '93.

When I go to Indian reservations in the West, and especially to the Pine Ridge Reservation, I sometimes feel unsure where to put my foot when I open the car door. The very ground is different from where I usually stand. There are fewer curbs, fewer sidewalks, and almost no street signs, mailboxes, or leashed dogs.

I grew up saying that I love humans, but I love dogs much, much more.

None of the kids in the neighborhood had dogs. My dad walked in that Labrador, and we started running together and rolling around together like we found each other after years apart. And then, suddenly, some of the other people in the neighborhood started getting dogs, too.

I look at 'Straw Dogs' as a very imperfect movie. It's a little bit slow, and its themes are a little bit murky.
