Additional quotes by Willie Dixon

Some people think they've got religion, they've got the blues.

That's the reason I always say about music, the blues are the roots and the other musics are the fruits. Without the roots, you have no fruits so it's better keeping the roots alive because it means better fruits from now on.

The blues is the roots; everything else is the fruits.

I am the blues I am the blues The whole world knows I've been mistreated and misused. - Willie Dixon
