Robbie said "once you've experienced the blues it stays with you, its not something you can get rid of. To quantify it in words is not easy, its organic, personal and not something we control, its simply life." Blues Music is an honest emotional expression whilst being true to your feelings. “You live it, you feel it, it becomes part of you like a disease”. “It’s hypnotic, it heals your soul, it’s becomes your salvation”.
