My Mother Used To Play Nothing But

People That Can't Stand To Listen To The Blues, They've Got To Be Phonies.

I Don't Care Who's Playing. Even If It's My Favorite Artist, I'm Probably Not Gonna Go And See Him.

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.

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.
