Thank you so much.

Well, firstly, I'm honoured.
I live for an American dream.
My whole life going
through the archives
was extremely inspiring.
I think the blues is like...
I grew up watching
the movie "Crossroads"
and the train tracks
with the harmonica, and
my dad would teach me
how to play harmonica and
trying to channel
that for this song.
You kind of have to
like rip open your soul
to connect to the blues.
So I'm going to do my best
to do an Americana version.
