Extrait du book de la tournée 95 From The Cradle (Nothing But The Blues) :
A la question : “Can white men sing the blues?”
EC répond : “I definitively think we can't. I try my hardest to save my life to sing the blues, but I don't think I can do it half as well as an American black man from the South. There's no doubt about it. And that's another thing - don't ask me why, I don't know why, but for me it takes a great deal of studying and discipline to sing the blues and for a black guy from Mississippi it seems to be what they do when they open their mouth without even thinking. I don't like being racial about it, but it's there, isn't it? It's there. And i don't know the reason why - me - I have been selected to do this... I do find this fullfilling, and I do love it, so I want to do it, and I knew that i have to work very hard to get it right, so the only king of answer I can give to that question is, “Well, we can, but not as well as”.
