The world has made everything else and still it can't make peace. And the reason it can't make peace is because of the evil, ignorance and stupidity. I have songs that explain these facts. And that's the blues.
Willie Dixon
Image
Sonny Boy Williamson (II) was a beautiful guy, a straight guy... (but) he was always raising hell one way or another, so you never could tell if he was drunk or sober.
Willie Dixon
Image
I see you watching me like a hawk. I don't mind about the things you talk. But if you touch me something's got to give. I live the life I love and I love the life I live.
Willie Dixon
Image
I feel like the blues is actually some kind of documentary of the past and the present - and something to give people inspiration for the future.
Willie Dixon
Image
People have been brainwashed into believing that it's got to be down or it wouldn't be blues. But it's not so. It's got to be a fact or it wouldn't be blues.

The blues are the roots and the other musics are the fruits
Willie Dixon

I hadn't been exposed to music except in church. They used to have me singing a solo when I was five years old.

According to Biblical history and all of the history of the world, the blues was built in man from the beginning. The first thing that came out of man is the blues because, according to the Scriptures, when God made man, man was lonesome and blue.
Willie Dixon

The blues has been the foundation of all other American music since the beginning.
Willie Dixon

The blues is the roots, the rest is the fruits.
Willie Dixon
Image
I don't want you to cook my bread, I don't want you to make my bed. I don't want you to because I'm sad and blue, I just want to make love to you.
Willie Dixon
Image
A bad rendition of you is better than a good rendition of somebody else.
Willie Dixon

The blues will always be because the blues are the roots of all American music.
Willie Dixon
Image
The blues are the roots and the other musics are the fruits. It's better keeping the roots alive, because it means better fruits from now on. The blues are the roots of all American music. As long as American music survives, so will the blues.

Mose Allison is a beautiful musician.
Willie Dixon
Image
The whole of life itself expresses the blues. That's why I always say the blues are the true facts of life expressed in words and song, inspiration, feeling and understanding. The blues can be about anything pertaining to the facts of life. The blues call on God as much as a spiritual song do.
