My favorite country blues player was Big Bill Broonzy. City blues was Freddie King, but I liked them all - Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Ralph Willis, Lonnie Johnson, Brownie McGhee and the three Kings, B.B., Albert and Freddie. Jazz-wise, I listened to Django, Barney Kessel and Wes Montgomery.

If I ever woke up with a dead hooker in my hotel room, Matt would be the first person I'd call.

I don't roll like that but I've never been with a hooker either. Yeah, that's good to say in an interview cause I feel bad a little because people grew up watching me and that's a little disturbing.

You know, I'm a television personality. It's not like I'm a famous hooker or something!

I've always loved the blues, John Lee Hooker, Janis Joplin, Hendrix.

I was essentially raised on blues music. My dad was a blues musician around Dublin when I was a baby, so the only music I would listen to growing up was John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters. It's music that feels like home to me.

My musical education was grounded in blues and Chicago blues - John Lee Hooker and Otis Redding.

'Boogie Chillen',' by John Lee Hooker - that is a riff.
