Even As A Little Child, I've Always

The Two Things You Can't Fake Are Good Food And Good Music

And As I Started Reaching Deeper I Realized That Most Of The Blues Of That Day Was Done By Men. Women Just Didn't Have The Nerve.

What Happens Is, When I Perform, I'm Somewhere Else. I Go Back In Time And Get In Touch With Who I Really Am. I Forget My Troubles, My Worries.

This Is An Album Of Songs That I've Always Loved, Tunes That I Heard. For The First Time In 53 Years Of Recording, I Really Had Control Over An Entire Album, Start To Finish.

I Wanna Show That Gospel, Country, Blues, Rhythm And Blues, Jazz, Rock 'n' Roll Are All Just Really One Thing. Those Are The American Music And That Is The American Culture.
