Blues is a tonic for whatever ails you. I could play the blues and then not be blue anymore.
̶ B.B. King
If you don't know the blues, there's no point in picking up the guitar and playing a rock and roll or any other form of popular music.
̶ Keith Richards
The Blues had a baby and they called it Rock and Roll.
̶ Muddy Waters
The blues are what I've turned to, what has given me inspiration and relief in all the trials of my life.
̶ Eric Clapton
Funk, gospel, blues is all out of slavery times, out of depression, out of sorrow.
̶ Nina Simone
The blues tells a story. Every line of the blues has a meaning.
̶ John Lee Hooker
