Love it so much it gets an encore?  😊

 

You know, I just don't hear this as blues...some kind of hybrid maybe?  I think Mr. Hooker cashed in a bit in his later years. Can't blame him, but nevertheless...

Do you hear from fans who say that you and Pat have turned them on to black bluesmen of the past?
All the time. People always tell us that they got into Junior and I love that. They got into T-Model or something like that and had never heard of him [before]. I definitely love that about the platform that we have — being able to share with our fans the music that we love, the music that inspired us.
