Nobody can tell you how the BLUES feel unless they have the blues.
We all take it differently.
..........................​...........Otis Rush 


It was stumbling on to really the bible of the blues, you know, and a very powerful drug to be introduced to us and I absorbed it totally, and it changed my complete outlook on music.
..........................​.............Eric Clapton




Like you and your woman ain't gettin' along and you're in love.
You can't sleep at nights. Your mind is on her - on whatever.
You know, that's the blues.
You can't hug that money at night.
You can't kiss it.
..........................​.................John Lee Hooker




I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice.
Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed.
..........................​................B. B. King




Saturday night is your big night.
Everybody used to fry up fish and have one hell of a time.
Find me playing till sunrise for 50 cents and a sandwich.
And be glad of it.
And they really liked the low-down blues.
..........................​........Muddy Waters




At every crossroads on the path that leads to the future, tradition has placed 10,000 men to guard the past.
..........................​...Maurice Maeterlinck




I been in the blues all my life.
I'm still delivering 'cause I got a long memory.
..........................​...............Muddy Waters




Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.
..........................​.............Jimi Hendrix




A guy will promise you the world and give you nothin', and that's the blues.
..........................​..............Otis Rush
