Blues Quotes

I suppose I was waiting until I was old enough to have some sort of experience to sing about. When you’re young, it’s hard to sing the blues. Nobody believes you Picture Quote #1

Every time the guys were knocked out by my guitar playing and the girls were knocked out by the type of songs I did. That set us apart from the average blues band Picture Quote #1

I sang in church growing up. Memphis is the blues capital of the world, we like to say Picture Quote #1

Getting to play the blues has been transcendant for me. I can’t say if my finest hour is yet to come, you want to make a dent in this world, well I do anyway Picture Quote #1

The blues brings you back into the fold. The blues isn’t about the blues, it’s about we have all had the blues and we are all in this together Picture Quote #1

I think every once in a while country has lost its way, but found its way back. It’s always going to drift away from the traditional side, but then find a way to return. There’s room for all kinds of influences be it pop, blues, gospel or whatever. But I will always say that I think we need more traditional country music coming down the pike Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t count myself as being a true blues guitarist because I feel you have to live it 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

There was one emotional outlet my people always had when they had the blues. That was singing Picture Quote #1

The old jazz singers or old blues singers, you always just saw them kind of sitting down and singing. They weren’t worried as much about their voice sounding perfect. They would make the song kind of fit their voice Picture Quote #1

I think it will always be around it just takes one person to make people aware of the blues Picture Quote #1

The rhythm persisted, the unfaltering common meter of blues, but the blueness itself, the sorrow, the despair, began to give way to hope Picture Quote #1

I have learned as much about writing about my people by listening to blues and jazz and spirituals as I have by reading novels Picture Quote #1

Rock ‘n roll is really swing with a modern name. It began on the levees and plantations, took in folk songs, and features blues and rhythm. It’s the rhythm that gets to the kids – they’re starved of music they can dance to, after all those years of crooners Picture Quote #1

I think people must wonder how a white girl like me became a blues guitarist. The truth is, I never intended to do this for a living 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

I have been accused of being a very simplistic, very lyrical player, and that’s okay. That just comes from the blues, which is my background. But every day you wake up and transcend. You can’t ever rest on your laurels Picture Quote #1

When I was growing up, the blues did seem too simple to me. I was just a muso Picture Quote #1

You got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues... And you know it don’t come easy Picture Quote #1

Look at the sky. It’s not dark and black and without character. The black is, in fact deep blue. And over there: lighter blue and blowing through the blues and blackness the winds swirling through the air and then shining, burning, bursting through: the stars! And you see how they roar their light. Everywhere we look, the complex magic of nature blazes before our eyes Picture Quote #1

Colours change: in the morning light, red shines out bright and clear and the blues merge into their surroundings, melting into the greens; but by the evening the reds loose their piquancy, embracing a quieter tone and shifting toward the blues in the rainbow. Yellow flowers remain bright, and white ones become luminous, shining like ghostly figures against a darkening green background Picture Quote #1

I smoked this joint and then it hit me. I thought, what you gotta do is play your own simply blues Picture Quote #1

Humor is most powerful thing that uses laughter as it base to chase your blues away Picture Quote #1

For me, the ultimate form of expression is blues, where jazz appeals to me on an intellectual level Picture Quote #1

People have been brainwashed into believing that it’s got to be down or it wouldn’t be blues. But it’s not so. It’s got to be a fact or it wouldn’t be blues Picture Quote #1

I was born swinging and clapped my hands in church as a little boy, but I’ve grown up and I like to do things other than just swing. But blues can do more than just swing Picture Quote #1

When I was about 12, I knew I wanted to be a musician. The blues had so much emotion and so much feeling; if you don’t have that, you’re not going to be good at it Picture Quote #1

People, whether they know it or not, like their blues singers miserable. They like their blues singers to die afterwards Picture Quote #1

When I die, they’ll bury the blues with me. But the blues will never die Picture Quote #1

When the sweet talkin’s done, a man is a two face, a worrisome thing who’ll leave you to sing the blues in the night Picture Quote #1
