I didn't want to go out and change anything. I just wanted to make the music that was part of my background which was rock and blues and hip-hop.

My first car was a 1976 Toyota Corolla Liftback in red like the one in 'The Blues Brothers.' I painted a Union Jack on the roof. I was absolutely in love with it until I destroyed it which broke my heart!

Blues and soul and jazz music has so much pain so much beauty of raw emotion and passion.

Lorne finally said Do the Blues Brothers thing. The response was amazing. People went nuts.

Another thing to do with the blues is how they were recorded. They were done on the quick and some of that stuff was made on wire not even tape let alone digital.
