Me being a skinny guy, I could crawl into the steel pit.
Well, I’ve had to deal with everything in my life… leavin’ the family, learnin’ what not and what to do.
I’ve been waiting for that bright sunshine to show up and shine in my back door someday.
I don’t want to be in some big beautiful place that nobody want me, because I play the blues.
The blues is the foundation, and it’s got to carry the top. The other part of the scene, the rock ‘n’ roll and the jazz, are the walls of the blues.
Jonny Lang has the power to move the music into the next millennium by reaching the ears of a new generation. The great musicians have the power to break all of the ‘isms’-race, age, sex, et cetera. Jonny Lang is one of those musicians.
I think I’m the most positive guy still going in my generation, and I’m out there to prove that.
What I want to do, is play music for somebody who believe in me.
In the States, it takes you a lifetime just to get from Chicago’s South Side to the West Side.
I have as much input to the blues; I just never got the chance, the opportunity or maybe the respect.
I want people to recognize Luther Allison when I play.
I look in music magazines now and see things on Luther Allison, and my name’s getting out there more, thanks to all the good people at Alligator Records and at my management company.
