Con Alma de Blues Magazine
Yes but I’ ve played with too many people in this business. I’ ve played with more people than any sideman in the Blues business other types of music from A to Z. And my dad was a music innovator and also a civil rights activist. So I’ m a chip off the block as said. Always be serious but play to make happiness and be happy playing.
GZ: What’ s your opinion of the actual Blues? Is it faithful to the roots? Or do you think it’ s changing and it’ s ok?
My opinion about Blues today is there is a lot of Fake Blues nowadays. Fake Blues musicians, Weak musicianship and a lot of things being called Blues that has no Blues in it at all. A lot of Blues nonsense. And at the rate it’ s going Blues will not be Blues anymore. It’ s really a lot of weak bullshit being called Blues. Like one of my friends Mr Albert King said,“ The only way to play the Blues is play the Blues. Well I don’ t hear a lot of that going on today. So there’ s a lot of people making a living today as Blues but it ain’ t Blues. I just don’ t see a great future in Blues business. Now it’ s get in where you fit in. I play with a Country artist who sings with more Soul and Blues in a Country 🤠 settingmorethanthesesocalledBluesplayers Jamey Johnson my brother from another band, great Country, Soul and Rock and Roll with Gospel too. Ain’ t nothing he play is bullshit and it’ s from the heart and you can feel it
