I went from a champion... it became very hard in the beginning, because I gave up everything in the States, to take this chance.

But there was not a job that could say that Luther Allison didn't do his job.

But let's face it, I still have to look at my self and look at the things I've done down the stretch.

We played the same thing in Europe we played in the States.

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

I have as much input to the blues; I just never got the chance, the opportunity or maybe the respect.

But I never had that commercial opportunity to be played on the radio, so how could I be popular?

Buddy Guy finally got a break and made it. And Buddy Guy deserves it.

What I want to do, is play music for somebody who believe in me.
