Blues quotes

“The blues help you get out of bed in the morning. You get up knowing you ain't alone. There's something else in the world. Something's has been added by that song.”
Viola Davis - Ma Rainey

“White folk don't understand about the blues. They hear it come out, but they don't know how it got there. They don't understand that that's life's way of talking. You don't sing to feel better. You sing 'cause that's a way of understanding life.”
Viola Davis - Ma Rainey

“The more music you have in the world, the fuller it is.”
Viola Davis - Ma Rainey
