Finding Great Songs Is The Hard Part

I'm Sure I Would Have Been Considered A More Significant Artist If I Was A Singer-songwriter. It's Just Not The Way I Roll. I Love Being A Curator And A Musicologist. People Write Me Letters And Thank Me For Turning Them On To Fred Mcdowell And Sippie Wallace, And That's Partly My Job This Time Around.

My Career Is Based On The Slow Build Of An Audience Based On Putting On A Good Show Live And Putting Out A Record Every Couple Of Years. I Was Already Doing Really Well In Terms Of My Goals, To Keep My Fans Coming Back.

Since I Was 20 Years Old, I've Been A Kind Of Corporation. I'd Wake Up In The Morning And My Job Was To Be 'bonnie Raitt' In Capital Letters.

We Can Live In Fear Or Act Out Of Hope.

I've Watched My Peers Get Better With Age And Hoped That Would Happen With Me.
