Below are some of the greatest quotes he has said about
music.
- Songs are life in 80 words or less.
- My voice is unadorned. I don’t try for perfection. I try to be honest and truthful and soulful with the voice I have. If I make mistakes in notes, or there are cracks in notes, I don’t fix them. That’s the way it is.
- The music is key. It has the power to transport you. I go from being a slightly insecure, shy kind of a person offstage, to this super-confident, motivated, entity onstage.
- You have to go out there and give a piece of yourself — your life, your soul. And you better give the audience everything you can — physically, emotionally, musically. Then maybe they’ll accept you and give you a standing ovation at the end.
- Money talks, but it don’t sing and dance, and it don’t walk. And long as I can have you here with me, I’d much rather be, forever in blue jeans.
