John Lee Hooker

If they played more blues, people would just get it - they try to hold it back but just about can't hold it back now because the blues is really going.

I went on to Cincinnati. I had got a taste of the big cities and them bright lights. I stayed there until I was about 18 or 19 and then I went on to Detroit.

The blues tells a story. Every line of the blues has a meaning.

I just had an idea that went right over my head.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

I've done gospel songs on every album.
