"Soul, for me, is by far the most important thing. As Buddy Guy said recently "the blues don't lie". The best blues music tells the truth straight from the heart. You can hear the depth of a man's soul through his voice."

Dave Thomas: Road To The Blues

A veteran of the British blues bloom in the 1960’s Thomas has toured, lived and recorded all…

"I think blues just one of those things where if I didn’t have it, I would feel there was something missing. Somehow like a hole in the spirit somewhere, and I'd be a lot sadder. Blues is such a part of me, and has been for such a long time and it’s given me so many experiences, so many friends, I'd be a shell of myself."…

"I think in general young people are looking for something to feed their spirit, with all the technology that we lean on, I think more, and more people are just looking for something real to hold onto.

New York Blues Hall of…

" Bill Withers' songs give timeless, emotional, insightful commentary on being. Love, loss, family, community, friendship, politics, just being. That never goes out of style.  He has given the world anthems for celebration, heartbreak, unity, life. For sure he has for me."

But the world has moved along. You can cry and wail, but the world has moved along. R&R has joined jazz, swing, dixieland, blues, REAL country in being mostly forgotten by the masses.
