Albert King

“I can't read music, but I can play it.”

“I do a lot of talking on my guitar.”

“Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die to get there.”

“When you're down and out, the blues is a friend.”

“I play the notes that I feel.”

“You don't have to be sad to play the blues, but it helps.”

“Born under a bad sign, I've been down since I began to crawl.”

“Playing the blues is like being a preacher. You're telling a story.”

“Simple is hard to do.”

“I got my own style, I don't try to be nobody else.”

“If you don't dig the blues, you've got a hole in your soul.”

“The blues is a feeling, you can't get it out of a book.”
