A guy will promise you the world and give you nothin', and that's the blues. Otis Rush
A lot of people relate me to the blues but I don't think it's a hindrance at this point. I've been doing it long enough that I can do different things and be accepted. Paul Butterfield
After I exhausted the blues thing, I got into jazz. Robert Quine
All the classic jazz players all sang and a lot of 'em sang blues. Mose Allison
And as I started reaching deeper I realized that most of the blues of that day was done by men. Women just didn't have the nerve. Etta James
But of course it's different now, the blues is no longer blues, it's green now. Ruth Brown
But what I like to sing mostly is blues and cabaret style. Moira Kelly
Don't waste your time away thinkin' 'bout yesterday's blues. Jon Bon Jovi
Elvis deserves a lot of credit for bringing the blues to middle America, not the Vegas stuff. The early stuff, The Sun records, and the first few RCA records. He was wonderful, he had the power, the drive, and he was so dedicated to his music. Peter Tork
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. George Thorogood
Everybody thinks I'm, like, a bad boy. I've had my day, but I just sit at home and play the blues mostly. Brad Renfro
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. Peter Tork
Go ahead and play the blues if it'll make you happy. Dan Castellaneta
God, I'm just a fat bald guy, 60 years old, singing the blues, you know? Joe Cocker

Hearing the blues changed my life. Van Morrison
Hill Street Blues gave me an opportunity to work with an ensemble cast of people whose work I admired. Steven Bochco
Hill Street Blues might have been the first television show that had a memory. One episode after another was part of a cumulative experience shared by the audience. Steven Bochco
I always loved Sam Cooke, because he seemed very versatile. He sang gospel, soul, blues, pop music. Aaron Neville
I am very excited to be here in Wales and look forward to putting on the Cardiff Blues shirt. Jonah Lomu
I been in the blues all my life. I'm still delivering 'cause I got a long memory. Muddy Waters
I didn't want to go out and change anything. I just wanted to make the music that was part of my background, which was rock and blues and hip-hop. Kid Rock
I don't want to be in some big beautiful place that nobody want me, because I play the blues. Luther Allison
I don't wanta do any Blues or any sad songs. Bob Livingston
I find Indian music very funky. I mean it's very soulful, with their own kind of blues. But it's the only other school on the planet that develops improvisation to the high degree that you find in jazz music. So we have a lot of common ground. John McLaughlin
I go out with my band six months of the year and the rest of them with the Blues Brothers. Eddie Floyd
I got to see all these incredible blues players, like Jimmy Reed. Johnny Rivers
I guess music, particularly the blues, is the only form of schizophrenia that has organised itself into being both legal and beneficial to society. Alexis Korner
I had a problem with cops pulling me over all the time for speeding. When I was doing Hill Street Blues, the cops said how much they loved the show as they were writing me up; meanwhile my insurance went through the roof. Jennifer Tilly
I had always intended to make a living out of playing blues. But I never admitted it to myself. I don't suppose I could have given a logical reason for it ever becoming possible to do so. Alexis Korner
I had listened to Joe Turner. When they'd book Joe there, I'd play the blues behind him. Jay McShann
I had the blues because I had no shoes until upon the street, I met a man who had no feet. Denis Waitley
I have a gajillion headbands - yellows, pinks, reds, blues. I'm obsessed. Monique Coleman
I have as much input to the blues; I just never got the chance, the opportunity or maybe the respect. Luther Allison
I have heartaches, I have blues. No matter what you got, the blues is there. 'Cause that's all I know - the blues. And I can sing the blues so deep until you can have this room full of money and I can give you the blues. John Lee Hooker
I just like the blues better than rock 'n' roll. Johnny Winter
I know some people will be surprised to hear it, but I've found that my music, whether its blues or rock, or whatever you want to call it, can be channeled into a positive direction that actually helps people. Rick Derringer
I like a very dark house, just black. I sit there and just think. Once I'm still and quiet inside, I'll begin. It's very personal; it has to be. One song may be Bach, the next blues, a song from TV, or a nursery rhyme or jazz piece. Bobby McFerrin
I like blues but it is music I am too ignorant to understand. Barry Gibb
I like the blues a lot. I grew up on it. Morgan Freeman
I like to listen the blues and some classical. Peter Tork
I like to play guitar, jam out, play the blues, go watch movies. I love movies. Dane Cook
I listened to classical guitar and Spanish guitar, as well as jazz guitar players, rock and roll and blues. All of it. I did the same thing with my voice. Boz Scaggs
I love good rock'n'roll, blues and jazz, gospel, and a little reggae. Jerry Hall
I love Ruth Brown, not just her singing, but Ruth Brown has more girl power than anyone, because she fought hard against people who ripped her off and then helped other artists through the Rhythm and Blues Foundation. Ronnie Spector
I was considered as a jazz man rather than as a blues player. There were no blues players-you played one sort of jazz of another sort of jazz. Alexis Korner
I was into playing American music, especially the blues. Mark Knopfler
I was lucky enough to get to see guys like Bugs Henderson, Jimmy Wallace, all those great Texas blues players. Dimebag Darrell
I went back to Belfast and started a club, the Maritime. No one had thought about doing a blues club, so I was the first. Van Morrison
I would like to involve myself in some black music. I would like to do some blues and some gospel music. I want to try stuff from other genres and try to widen my musical base. Greg Lake
I would think, to me, growing up in the south, growing up with all the gospel music, singing in the church and having that rhythm and blues - the blues background was my big inspiration. Jackie DeShannon
I wouldn't count myself as being a true blues guitarist because I feel you have to live it. Robin Trower
I wouldn't think a blues album would be that commercially successful, but I don't really care. I'd do it for the love of blues, not for the money. I've got plenty of money. Christine McVie
I'm certain that it was an incredible gift for me to not only be friends with some of the greatest blues people who've ever lived, but to learn how they played, how they sang, how they lived their lives, ran their marriages, and talked to their kids. Bonnie Raitt
I'm John Lee Hooker in the sense that he was a blues man and he played blues his whole life. I'm a rock guy and I'm going to play rock music my whole life. Sammy Hagar
I'm not a big blues fan, but I don't know anyone who doesn't dig B.B. King. Maurice Gibb
I'm not good enough to be playin' much acoustic guitar onstage. Man, you gotta get so right; I mean, the tones, the feel, the sound. Plus, acoustic blues guitar is just that much harder on the fingers. Johnny Winter
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. Dinah Shore
I'm sure there are a few things in my CD collection that might surprise people. I like classical music, the blues, and I'm a big fan of alternative rock. Brad Paisley
I've always loved the blues, John Lee Hooker, Janis Joplin, Hendrix. Eddie Money
I've always thought Blues Point Tower is one of my best buildings and I stand by that. Harry Seidler
I've gone the full spectrum - from gospel to blues to jazz to soul to pop - and the public has accepted what I've done through it all. I think it means I've been doing something right at the right time. Lou Rawls
I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed. B. B. King
If I'm at a party and someone puts on a Blues Brothers tape, I tend to go nuts. Todd Barry
If I'm going to do blues, it's going to be a typical Jimmy Rushing record. Jimmy Rushing
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. John Lee Hooker
If you can't play the blues... you might as well hang it up. Dexter Gordon
If you don't know the blues... there's no point in picking up the guitar and playing rock and roll or any other form of popular music. Keith Richards
In 1940 I came across a record by Jimmy Yancey. I can't say how important that record is. From then on, all I wanted to do was play the blues. Alexis Korner
In the blues, it just takes so long for us to get recognized. Luther Allison
In the nineties I was doing those Blues Bureau records, but over the past two years, I have really gone back to my Christian roots and have been born again. Rick Derringer
It is commercial pop that the majority of people understand. A working man's daughter would not understand blues. Barry Gibb
It is from the blues that all that may be called American music derives its most distinctive character. James Weldon Johnson
It was just like Howlin' Wolf. Once you arrive at the point that you understand it, the emotional factor is darker than some of the saddest blues stuff. Robert Quine
It was so much fun to do, play the blues and then play a Monkees' set on the same night. Peter Tork
It was stumbling on to really the bible of the blues, you know, and a very powerful drug to be introduced to us and I absorbed it totally, and it changed my complete outlook on music. Eric Clapton
It was the early days of Rock 'n' Roll in this country. We were all struggling to learn music, it might be Country, Jazz, Classical, Blues or even Rock 'n' Roll. Jim Sullivan
It's a blue album, but it's not a blues album. I'm not pretending all of a sudden now I'm blues. Neil Young
James Cotton is a real blues guy, and he played with Muddy Waters, and it surprised me that they would want me to make a record with them, that he called me to do this record. I'd never done anything like that before. But I love blues, so I was very happy. Charlie Haden
Jazz is the big brother of the blues. If a guy's playing blues like we play, he's in high school. When he starts playing jazz it's like going on to college, to a school of higher learning. B. B. King
Johnny Winter is one of the best blues players in the world. He's very underrated. Ritchie Blackmore
Like you and your woman ain't gettin' along and you're in love. You can't sleep at nights. Your mind is on her - on whatever. You know, that's the blues. You can't hug that money at night. You can't kiss it. John Lee Hooker
Logically, when you talkin' about folk music and blues, you find out it's music of just plain people. Brownie McGhee
Lorne finally said, Do the Blues Brothers thing. The response was amazing. People went nuts. Steve Cropper
Most of the songs I sing have that blues feeling in it. They have that sorry feeling. And I don't know what I'm sorry about. I don't. Etta James My dad was good friends with the Bad Medicine Blues Band - one of the only blues bands in Fargo, as you can imagine! He took me out to see them play when I was 12 years old and I was really inspired by their guitar player, Ted Larsen. Jonny Lang
My early influences were the Shadows, who were an English instrumental band. They basically got me into playing and later on I got into blues and jazz players. I liked Clapton when he was with John Mayall. I really liked that period. Tony Iommi
My family was a Christian family. But I had to get to Kansas to play the blues. Jay McShann
My favorite moment of the whole thing was when John Belushi suggested that I get a hold of all the blues records I could so I could research the music. Steve Cropper
My idea of heaven is a place where the Tyne meets the Delta, where folk music meets the blues. Mark Knopfler
My primary influences were the best jazz players from the 50's and 60's and later some of the pop people from the same time period along with the better of the well known blues musicians. Walter Becker
My take on rap is driven by straightforward American southern rock and blues. Kid Rock
Nobody can tell you how the blues feel unless they have the blues. We all take it differently. Otis Rush
Of course, there are a lot of ways you can treat the blues, but it will still be the blues. Count Basie

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. Al Jarreau
Once you start collecting records you learn more and more about jazz and blues. John Mayall
One performer whose band played my music better than I could myself was Art Farmer. He recorded 'Sing Me Softly of the Blues' and 'Ad Infinitum'. Carla Bley
One thing the blues ain't, is funny. Stephen Stills
Our repertoire consisted of rhythm and blues, sort of country rhythm and blues, Sonny Terry things. Ray Davies
Parenthood always comes as a shock. Postpartum blues? Postpartum panic is more like it. We set out to have a baby; what we get is a total take-over of our lives. Polly Berrien Berends
People out there maybe know who Junior Parker is and some of those Sun Records blues guys. Brian Setzer
Pop music is aspirin and the blues are vitamins. Peter Tork
Saturday night is your big night. Everybody used to fry up fish and have one hell of a time. Find me playing till sunrise for 50 cents and a sandwich. And be glad of it. And they really liked the low-down blues. Muddy Waters
See, that's nothing but blues, that's all I'm singing about. It's today's blues. Jimi Hendrix
Shoe Suede Blues is ten years old this year. The Band consists of four members. Peter Tork
So, maybe you don't see blues so much in Styx's music but it is definitely part of Tommy's early music. James Young
So, rap has that quality, for youth anyway; it's a kind of blues element. It's physical, almost gymnastic. It speaks to you organically. Rap grows out of what young people really are today, not only black youth, but white - everybody. Archie Shepp
Sounds like the blues are composed of feeling, finesse, and fear. Billy Gibbons
The Beatles and The Stones were basically inspired by American Rhythm and Blues. Mick Taylor
The blues - the sound of a sinner on revival day. William Christopher Handy

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. Peter Tork
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. Jimmy Rushing
The blues is losing someone you love and not having enough money to immerse yourself in drink. Henry Rollins
The blues is something separate from what I do. They connect at certain spots, but blues is different. I wouldn't put it in with what my career has been. That would be a whole separate wing. Bob Mould
The blues is the foundation, and it's got to carry the top. The other part of the scene, the rock 'n' roll and the jazz, are the walls of the blues. Luther Allison
The Blues scene now is international. In the '50s it was purely something that you would hear in black clubs, played by black musicians, especially in America. But from the '60s onwards it changed. Mick Taylor
The blues tells a story in itself. It can make you happy or give you a feeling to swing. Jimmy Rushing
The blues tells a story. Every line of the blues has a meaning. John Lee Hooker
The blues was like that problem child that you may have had in the family. You was a little bit ashamed to let anybody see him, but you loved him. You just didn't know how other people would take it. B. B. King
The British ballads became a new kind of form in their hand. And out of them came the blues, a new kind of song of commentary and satire, a song form which, after all, has become the main musical form of the whole human species. Alan Lomax
The British feel of blues has been hard, rather than emotional. Far too much emphasis on 12 bar, too little attention to words, far too little originality. Alexis Korner
The consolidation of the music business has made it difficult to encourage styles like the blues, all of which deserve to be celebrated as part of our most treasured national resources. Bonnie Raitt
The first real thing I heard was Three O'Clock Blues by B.B. King. That's where it all began for me. Robin Trower
The musicians that didn't know music could play the best blues. I know that I don't want no musicians who know all about music playin' for me. Alberta Hunter
The next thing I knew, I was out of the service and making movies again. My first picture was called, GI Blues. I thought I was still in the army. Elvis Presley
The old Fleetwood Mac was much better; they did some beautiful and, to my mind, very authentic blues. Chicken Shack did pretty well in Europe, but after I left, it was over. Christine McVie
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. Lucinda Williams
The one thing the blues don't get is the backing and pushing of TV and radio like a lot of this garbage you hears. They choke stuff down people's throat so they got no choice but to listen to it. John Lee Hooker
The only time it dominates is during a solo, or when we play a low blues and I put figures in behind Eric's vocals. There's never any real problem fitting guitar and organ together. Alan Price
The parallel development in American blues to the British movement has resulted in Johnny Winters. Alexis Korner
The Progressive Blues Experiment, Johnny Winter... and Still Alive and Well is my favorite rock record. Johnny Winter
The reflection of the world is blues, that's where that part of the music is at. Then you got this other kind of music that's tryin' to come around. Jimi Hendrix
The way Will Moore taught me, and the way I play it, the blues is just something different. John Lee Hooker
Them pains, when blues pains grab you, you'll sing the blues right. Otis Rush
Then I started checking out blues albums from the library and playing the harp along with them. John Goodman
There was a time we decided that it was songs that were done especially from my background because of the things we were dealing with, but nowadays, anybody who has a need, and can find the need, they can sing the blues. Ruth Brown
There was nobody at the time who was playing slide guitar like Johnny, and nobody, or no white guys at least, that was playing country blues like that on the acoustic guitar. And it was at that point that I realized what Johnny had to offer. Rick Derringer
There was one emotional outlet my people always had when they had the blues. That was singing. Ethel Waters
There was some scene in The Blues Brothers movie, when they had the chicken wire across the front of the stage, and it was almost like that. They had a big guard rail around the stage, which kept the college kids from getting on... we had some good times. William Bell
There were a whole lot, I bought every blues record I could find, it wasn't just one or two people. My vocal influences were Ray Charles and Bobby Blue Bland. Johnny Winter
There were times I thought I was going to turn to the blues, but then I'd hear better blues players. Stephen Stills
There's a difference between the blues of the New Orleans guys and anyone else and the difference is in a chord, but I can't figure the name of it. It's a different chord, and they all make it. Jimmy Rushing
There's no way in the world I can feel the same blues the way I used to. When I play in Chicago, I'm playing up-to-date, not the blues I was born with. People should hear the pure blues - the blues we used to have when we had no money. Muddy Waters
They don't bother too much with the balance and things on blues records. Maurice Gibb
To me, Sabbath was always JUSt a really heavy blues band. That s all we were. We just took those blues roots and made them heavier. Geezer Butler
We are trying to prove that the blues lives on forever and anybody in this place can sing the blues. Ruth Brown
We didn't go for music that sounded like blues, or jazz, or rock, or Led Zeppelin, or Rolling Stones. We didn't want to be like any of the other bands. Michael Giles
We just sang real simple songs in a simple way that got to people. We didn't try to tart them up with orchestral arrangements and all the stuff. We were all blues fanatics. We like R+B and blues and simple, gut-feeling music. Mick Ralphs
Well, I don't know how they define that. But they have this Texas blues thing blown kinda out of proportion. I am a Long John Hunter blues, before and after, that's what I am. John Hunter
What makes my approach special is that I do different things. I do jazz, blues, country music and so forth. I do them all, like a good utility man. Ray Charles
When I began my career, I was constantly referred to as the kid who could play the blues. Jonny Lang
When I started workin' with Muddy. That convinced me that I could get away with doin' the blues. Johnny Winter
When you are through with the blues, you've got nothing to rest on. Mahalia Jackson
When you sit down and think about what rock 'n' roll music really is, then you have to change that question. Played up-tempo, you call it rock 'n' roll; at a regular tempo, you call it rhythm and blues. Little Richard
White folks hear the blues come out, but they don't know how it got there. Ma Rainey
With my little band, I did everything they did with a big band. I made the blues jump. Louis Jordan
With the Stray Cats at least, we really took the music somewhere else. First, we wrote our own songs. That's a real weak point in modern classics if you do rockabilly or blues. Brian Setzer
Yeah; I'm a much better blues player than anybody knows, but being in the kind of group I'm in, we were always trying to make popular records. Stephen Stills
You can go to Europe, and there's no turnin' back - any parts of Europe. Wherever you are, there is no stop and go for the blues. The blues go but it don't stop. John Lee Hooker
You can't seperate modern jazz from rock or from rhythm and blues - you can't seperate it. Because that's where it all started, and that's where it all come from - that's where I learned to keep rhythm - in church. Art Blakey
You don't have to live the blues to play the blues. Herbie Mann
You don't have to live the blues to play the blues. Herbie Mann
Anybody singing the blues is in a deep pit yelling for help. Mahalia Jackson
Anybody that sings the blues is in a deep pit, yelling for help. Mahalia Jackson
As a guitar player, you can gravitate to the blues because you can play it easily. It's not a style that's difficult to pick up. It's purely emotive and dead easy to get a start with. Boz Scaggs
As far as I'm concerned, blues and jazz are the great American contributions to music. Edgar Winter
Audiences like their blues singers to be miserable. Janis Joplin
Before I left, I opened a lot of doors for a lot of people to play the blues. Luther Allison
Blues and jazz pulled me away from what was left of my family. Alexis Korner
Blues are the songs of despair, but gospel songs are the songs of hope. Mahalia Jackson

Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel. Jimi Hendrix
Blues means what milk does to a baby. Blues is what the spirit is to the minister. We sing the blues because our hearts have been hurt, our souls have been disturbed. Alberta Hunter
Blues music is becoming more and more popular than it ever was. I'm always meeting people on the road that are really young, and are guitar players. male and female. Mick Taylor
But between sets I'd sneak over to the black places to hear blues musicians. It got to the point where I was making my living at white clubs and having my fun at the other places. Stevie Ray Vaughan
But I did that, and I created another blues scene, another something I can sing about. Luther Allison
But my big thing was always the blues. Luther Allison
