“What I do mostly any more, is a sort of Country Blues 101. It’s broader than
that, of course, covering material from before the twenties to about the
fifties, and ranging over the several states to which Memphis is adjacent. I
grew up during the Sixties Revival in Massachusetts, but I’m a Southern boy at
heart. I made a point of acquainting myself with all the blues players I could,
on record and in person. In my shows, I do material by Rev. Davis, John Hurt,
Big Bill, Gus Cannon, Frank Stokes, Memphis Minnie, Bukka White, Barbecue Bob,
Charlie Patton, Ted Bogan, Henry Spaulding, or any of a hundred other blues
people.”
