Blues Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Blues:

The starting point of all great jazz has got to be format, a language that you can work within that, in some ways, is much tighter than the blues or even gospel. It's all working towards the same destination - the difference being that Miles Davis flew there, and I'm still taking the subway. James McBride

Once I was checking to hotel and a couple saw my ring with Blues on it. They said, 'You play blues. That music is so sad.' I gave them tickets to the show, and they came up afterwards and said, 'You didn't play one sad song.'

Buddy Guy

It was the early days of Rock 'n' Roll in this country. We were all struggling to learn music, it might be Country, Jazz, Classical, Blues or even Rock 'n' Roll.

Jim Sullivan

In the blues, it just takes so long for us to get recognized.

Luther Allison

I like a very dark house, just black. I sit there and just think. Once I'm still and quiet inside, I'll begin. It's very personal; it has to be. One song may be Bach, the next blues, a song from TV, or a nursery rhyme or jazz piece.

Bobby McFerrin

My dad was a blues musician around Dublin when I was a baby, so the only music I would listen to growing up was John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters. It's music that feels like home to me.

Hozier

Elvis deserves a lot of credit for bringing the blues to middle America, not the Vegas stuff. The early stuff, The Sun records, and the first few RCA records. He was wonderful, he had the power, the drive, and he was so dedicated to his music.

Peter Tork

I think that the blues is in everything, so it's not possible to neglect it. You hear somebody go 'Ooh ooh oooh,' and that's the blues. You hear a rock n' roll song. That's the blues. Somebody playing a guitar solo? They're playing the blues.

Wynton Marsalis

The blues tells a story in itself. It can make you happy or give you a feeling to swing.

Jimmy Rushing

I can show you that I have played with just about every jazz musician, every African musician, every blues musician. It's not like I'm cashing in on a false concept. This is what I do.

Carlos Santana

Them pains, when blues pains grab you, you'll sing the blues right.

Otis Rush

Are you really into pop? Are you really into old country? Blues? If you're not honest about your influences, then things don't sound as real as they can be. They're not as sharp a cheddar cheese as they can be. And I'm trying to be the sharpest cheddar I can be.

Frankie Ballard

It is commercial pop that the majority of people understand. A working man's daughter would not understand blues.

Barry Gibb

The blues style - moody or rollicking or boastful or bashful - developed in the Delta around 1900 and was, for a time, exclusively African-American. That isn't the case anymore.

Tim Cahill

So, maybe you don't see blues so much in Styx's music but it is definitely part of Tommy's early music.

James Young

Pop music is aspirin and the blues are vitamins.

Peter Tork

The blues is nothing but a story... The verses which are sung in the blues is a true story, what people are doing... what they all went through. It's not just a song, see?

David Edwards

It was just like Howlin' Wolf. Once you arrive at the point that you understand it, the emotional factor is darker than some of the saddest blues stuff.

Robert Quine

A good plate of sushi after an opening helps to soothe that post-opening blues - especially since you feel like raw meat yourself.

Jim Drain

Man, don't get me started on Pat Travers. That dude writes killer blues rock and roll riffs.

Dimebag Darrell

And as I started reaching deeper I realized that most of the blues of that day was done by men. Women just didn't have the nerve.

Etta James

My folks have played everything from rock, disco, pop, funk, and blues. My dad has always brought and played different genres like jazz, classical, and Latin. With all this in my pocket, I feel I have a taste of everything for my influences.

Haley Reinhart

But of course it's different now, the blues is no longer blues, it's green now.

Ruth Brown

I am a lover of all sorts of different music. I love blues and every piece of music that I have listened to has become an influence.

David Gilmour

I love country music, blues, and punk, and one day I might make those kinds of records.

Kesha

I'm sure there are a few things in my CD collection that might surprise people. I like classical music, the blues, and I'm a big fan of alternative rock.

Brad Paisley

When I started workin' with Muddy. That convinced me that I could get away with doin' the blues.

Johnny Winter

If I'm going to do blues, it's going to be a typical Jimmy Rushing record.

Jimmy Rushing

James Cotton is a real blues guy, and he played with Muddy Waters, and it surprised me that they would want me to make a record with them, that he called me to do this record. I'd never done anything like that before. But I love blues, so I was very happy.

Charlie Haden

Getting to play the blues has been transcendant for me. I can't say if my finest hour is yet to come, you want to make a dent in this world, well I do anyway.

Peter Tork

We didn't go for music that sounded like blues, or jazz, or rock, or Led Zeppelin, or Rolling Stones. We didn't want to be like any of the other bands.

Michael Giles

The starting point of all great jazz has got to be format, a language that you can work within that, in some ways, is much tighter than the blues or even gospel. It's all working towards the same destination - the difference being that Miles Davis flew there, and I'm still taking the subway.

James McBride

We have that storytelling history in country and bluegrass and old time and folk music, blues - all those things that combine to make up the genre. It was probably storytelling before it was songwriting, as far as country music is concerned. It's fun to be a part of that and tip the hat to that. You know, and keep that tradition alive.

Chris Stapleton

Man, 'Hill Street Blues' was on when I was 12, and I remember feeling I'd never seen anything like it. It was that far ahead of its time, with dark characters you loved.

D. B. Weiss

Popular music has always been rooted in the blues, whether it's Adele or Led Zeppelin or Sam Cooke. It's just the beat that changes.

L.A. Reid

I have heartaches, I have blues. No matter what you got, the blues is there. 'Cause that's all I know - the blues. And I can sing the blues so deep until you can have this room full of money and I can give you the blues.

John Lee Hooker

I think it was that we were really seasoned musicians. We had serious roots that spanned different cultures, obviously the blues.

Jimmy Page
