Luther Allison American Musician Quotations

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

So I cut out all the drinkin' and hangin' out and stuff like that early on.

I focused on how these people became how they were.

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

I mean, look how many musicians have come through and played beside me, and I'm workin' and they're not.

And I can do the rock clubs if I have to.

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

But I did that, and I created another blues scene, another something I can sing about.

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

But you know, I still had a dream of being able to go back home and tour.

I had the qualifications, but I was not chosen.

I went in '76, '78, '79, and I met people there who believed and knew a lot more about Luther Allison than the people in the States.

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

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