You have to suffer to sing the blues this way. You gotta have your heart not just broken, but kicked around and left in a gutter at 3am next to a crumpled up cigarette package - mugged, spit on, hung over, cut up with a switch blade knife and left for dead. Janis had this heart and there is a ghost running around in Cee Cee's vocal chords.
She shouts it, she wrings it out, she bleeds for it, she sweats for it, she crawls across the floor for it.
—Robert Carraher on Blood Red Blues
From The Dirty Lowdown Blogspot
