From the time I was a little boy I found myself reading history when I had a choice. I read a lot of things, but history had a special appeal for me.
Good rom-coms have some reflection of the way things are, the sign of the times.
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.
