Same thing with 'Long Long Way to Go'. We like to think we can tell a good song from a so-so song whether it be rock, pop, blues, rap, whatever.. Again, for no reason other than curiosity, it was sent to us and we really dug it, so we recorded it. Apparently so did Lionel Ritchie ! Let's not forget here that we DID write the other eleven songs on 'X' !

This time, we kind of took the inspiration from the old Wolfman Jack border radio and how he influenced a whole generation of musicians with everything from blues to all kinds of hillbilly music and gospel music. It reached all the way to California, and I've heard people tell me they got it in Chicago.

T.J. Was crazy for the blues. We were in a band together back in the eighth grade, and T.J. Would listen to Jimmy Reed almost nonstop. He got his drum style from that old country blues and then later applied it to Western swing.

You have a lot of people that buy that type of music. I listen to it occasionally if someone's got a radio on, but to just go out in left field and try to find it, no. I don't know how anyone gets into this music field, how they do it, but if they gonna do blues they're gonna have to be dead serious about what they're saying and how they're going say it and what they're doing.

Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil wrote a lot of stuff for Phil Spector.. We had done all rock and roll and rhythm and blues. I mean, we liked ballads and I suppose we did them OK, but that wasn't where we were emotionally and musically coming from.

We have to make people believe that the blues festival is here to stay, and that it's being done right. I think that this time people will see that we mean business, and they'll come back on board.

Holly: The blues are because you're getting fat and maybe it's been raining too long, you're just sad that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of.

I think it's a good thing that the guys had been given some time off earlier in the week and were able to relax. We've had a great run of three straight wins against the Reds, Cats and Blues.

His truly beautiful voice and melodic, understated guitar style contrasted dramatically with the more rough and raucous blues and blues-rock that came before him.

I thought there was a big void, especially with us being in the Delta, for not having any kind of blues festival. It's a great way to bring this back, especially with the new amphitheater.

Less than 10 years ago, Delray was home to several blues and jazz clubs. We thought since we have this brand-new venue, and jazz seems to be a musical voice in the city, we'd try to give the people who appreciate that sort of music a chance to celebrate that music at the library.

Once I was checking to hotel and a couple saw my ring with Blues on it. They said, 'You play blues. That music is so sad.' I gave them tickets to the show, and they came up afterwards and said, 'You didn't play one sad song.'

Six more weeks of dark, cold indoor weather limits not only sunlight but access to many outside activities. Put those together, and for some it means six more weeks of the blues.
