The Blind Boys are truly the deepest well of American musical heritage you can discover.

But I would never insult the people that love this music and I would never insult the blessing of music in my life and I would never insult myself by playing uninspired music.

As long as the songs are strong, I think you can express yourself in any style and have it be soulful and have it be your own voice.

It was a huge deal, a huge musical discovery that became life lessons learned. You can't return from having an experience like that. The Blind Boys are truly the deepest well of American musical heritage you can discover.

It will make a weak man mighty. it will make a mighty man fall. It will fill your heart and hands or leave you with nothing at all. It's the eyes for the blind and legs for the lame. It is the love for hate and pride for shame. That's the power of the gospel.

If you don't like my fire, Then don't come around Cause I'm gonna burn one down.
