Tinsley Ellis Quotes

I only saw the Stones once. But, I was really influenced by the British Blues movement and still am. Probably my favorite was Peter Green while he was with Fleetwood Mac. He had a great style and was so tasteful. I’m just a fan of anybody that bends a guitar string in a bluesy kind of way. Albert King was the string bendingest and so, all of his disciples, I’m into. I’m just a fan. I started out as a fan, and I remain a fan. I go to all the shows that I can. I was lucky enough to see B.B. King back before he was a household word. I saw Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, Albert Collins. A lot of the greats.

“All traveling bluesmen are hams. We get hooked on the applause and the attention and the interviews and it gets in your blood. It becomes a part of what you do. We don’t play the kind of music that is on the rock radio stations. We don’t play the kind of music that gets seen on Jay Leno, David Letterman, or MTV. So, it’s real important that we take it to the people.”
