Blues Quotes

If you want to be a good blues singer, people are going to be down on you, so dress like you’re going to the bank to borrow money Picture Quote #1

If you’ve traveled independently through Tibet, Brandon Wilson’s Yak Butter Blues will bring back memories...this lively memoir is sure to provide a yak-scented whiff of nostalgia Picture Quote #1

I’m like a middle-aged person; when my friends go on about modern bands, I don’t know what they are talking about. I’m into rock n’ roll, like Jimi Hendrix. Not so much because of my parents, who used to play a lot of Nina Simone and older blues, but my brother and sister Picture Quote #1

I’ve always found a cure for the blues is wandering into something unknown, and resting there, before coming back to whatever weight you were carrying Picture Quote #1

Once the subject matter of rock n’ roll changed from cars and pop love songs to songs about really true love and the blues and death and mortality, this light bulb went off in my head and I went, ‘Oh, that’s what they’re doing. That’s kind of - that’s art.’ Picture Quote #1

Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose Won’t you let me go down in my dreams? Picture Quote #1

Isn’t my music the last of the real rhythm and blues? Isn’t it great? It’s because of my musicians, we were weaned on Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, all the founding fathers, the gods of thunder, who invented the foundation and the pulse of the greatest music in the world! Picture Quote #1

I liked the Beatles but I wasn’t mad on the Stones. I always thought they were a slight rip-off of Chuck Berry and some of the old blues people, and they never seemed to change. If people compare me to Jagger and the Stones I would be the one to be put down ... I’ve been far more progressive than any of them Picture Quote #1

Clear water sped over rocky clusters whose colors ran from ivories to mossy greens, blues and grays. Though clouds covered the sun, the sway of dappling evergreens gave the water sparkle Picture Quote #1

One of my reasons for living in California is its close proximity to Mexico. The Latin influence is in every corner of the community. My love of Spanish music hasn’t wavered since the 50s. I could hear the blues voicing from the Flamanco families and I always dig for inspiration in Latin music Picture Quote #1

I was always drawn to the blues. Alberta Hunter at the Cookery was a life-changing experience. I only wanted to get enriched as a performer as I got older, to have an audience which got older, too, and would come to see me when I’m 80 Picture Quote #1

What’s the use coming home to get the blues over what can’t be helped Picture Quote #1

I was competing for attention in a four-piece band that was phenomenal, and I was trying to attack the blues from a kind of white English viewpoint as a singer Picture Quote #1

I’ve always loved the blues, ever since I was a kid. It has a depth to it that a lot of contemporary music doesn’t have. It has pain and suffering in it, but funny stories, too. And it is built on storytelling, which is something I really love Picture Quote #1

Once you discover that you can, then you must. And it’s not easy. You have to take direct steps. You really have to count your blessings and you have to make a decided effort to not get seduced by the blues Picture Quote #1

I’m not really a country singer, although I did make a couple albums and love its simple, straight-from-the-heart approach, but I have always sung a lot of jazz, show tunes, pop tunes, gospel and blues Picture Quote #1

I have a lot of friends who are involved in everything from Americana to blues to R Picture Quote #1

I base my roots and history in old blues, old country and old bluegrass, and I like rock ‘n’ roll, and somehow it all came together, and that is what I am playing now Picture Quote #1

I’m not a jazz singer, blues singer or country singer. I’m a singer that can sing rhythm and blues, that can sing jazz, that can sing country. There’s a big difference. In other words, I’m not a specialist Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid, we didn’t have any blues stations. I never heard Howlin’ Wolf or Muddy Waters or any of those people until the Stones had come along, and I took it upon myself to find out who these people were that they were covering Picture Quote #1

I didn’t have to be a pop singer with a certain look. When I started, there was really a revolution in natural artists with blues and folk artists crossing over; otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to get started Picture Quote #1

What cultural revolutionaries do not seem to grasp is that, far from being a grass-roots art form that has been taken over by businessmen, rock itself comes from the commercial exploitation of the blues Picture Quote #1

The blues comes right back to a person’s feelings, to his daily activities in life. But rich people don’t know nothing about the blues, please believe me Picture Quote #1

I really enjoy spending Sunday evenings with friends, because Sunday evenings are always frightening. You are obsessed by the fact that you are working again the next day. And sometimes you get the blues. I always decide to spend it with friends. It’s very nice Picture Quote #1

Dean Martin’s pancreas, who overheard his liver singing I got a right to sing the blues. Never got a dinner! Picture Quote #1

It’s always difficult to define what jazz is or what jazz isn’t. To me, the only definition that I can think of is it’s music where a lot of different elements are played at the same time. The harmonic, the melodic... You’re pushing the boundaries on every level. That could be true of rhythm and blues as well. I’m a musician Picture Quote #1

The delta blues is a low-down, dirty shame blues. It’s a sad, big wide sound, something to make you think about people who are dead or the women who left you Picture Quote #1

There’s always music that moves me. It doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s within the parenthesis of rock or blues, or whatever. It’s usually far more reaching than that. It can be in many different genres Picture Quote #1

I wanna record these girls individually. And then, I wanna cut a blues album on me. But all of it, original stuff, you know. When I listen to the blues today, it’s like they all sounds similar. I wanna do something different, to try to add to the blues flavor Picture Quote #1

I’m sort of East Coast, so I like the off-white and the navy blues and the low-key preppy kind of thing Picture Quote #1
