Cody and Luther were kids in high school who used to come to the juke joint and sit in the corner, petrified of interacting. But I didn't look at Junior and R.L. as giant heroes of the blues. I looked at them as living continuations of Fred McDowell and John Lee Hooker and guys like that. It was a cultural experience for me. |
David is one of the most talented musicians ever, and he's never gotten his due. That cat is an amazing guitar player. |
Everything surrounds him. He's our leader. He's well-known and he's being heavily-recruited. |
I am not one of those guys. |
I was involved in Habitat for Humanity when I was in high school and I think it's an incredible program. I've seen firsthand the effects it has on people. |
R.L., in real life was a lot different from how he comes off on the records, where he cusses and yells a lot. I have seen him get like that, but most of the time he was a very quiet, respectful person. He was not really how Fat Possum made him out to be to sell those records. |
This is the hardest-working team we've ever had. |
We had a young team last year and most of our starters are still with me. This group will be a lot more experienced. |
We weren't as bad as our record sounded. We lost to Jerome, but Jerome was a good team. We struggled throughout the season with injuries, but we're not using that as an excuse. |
