I'm Gonna Play Something So Funky You

Someone Told Me Once That Blues Is Like Whiskey. They Keep Whiskey In The Barrel For So Many Years, And Then They Talk About How Well It's Aged. But I Don't Think That Goes For Him. I Think This Young Man Has Just Stepped In There Sayin', 'i'm Gonna Prove You All Wrong.' I Think He's Like A Watermelon, Man. He's Ripe.

They Just Said, 'roll The Tape.' No Rehearsal Or Nothing... Muddy [waters] Didn't Come In And Say 'i Wanna Rehearse.' He Used To Look At Me And Say 'let's Just Play The Blues. That's All You Need To Do.

So Here I Am - A 75-year-old Man Sitting On A Bar Stool In A Blues Club, Trying To Figure Out Exactly How I Got Here. Any Way You Look At It, It's A Helluva Story.

They Say The Blues Is Sad, But When B.b. Sings 'i Got A Sweet Little Angel, I Love The Way She Spreads Her Wings,' That Don't Sound Too Sad To Me!

I Was Denied A Record Contract For 15 Years, So I'm Not Going To Be Too Picky About What I Do. I Don't Have The Juice To Say No Too Many Times.
