„Indiferent unde Big Daddy Wilson călătorește pe această planetă mare, frumoasă și diversă a noastră, el ia Sudul cu el.”
Cu câțiva ani în urmă, Big Daddy Wilson a spus unui intervievator că principalul motiv pentru care poartă ochelari de soare pe scenă este natura sa inerent de timidă. „Nu sunt un entertainer”, a susținut el la acea vreme. Songs From The Road, cel mai cunoscut album al lui, oferă însă câteva dovezi destul de puternice. Și totuși, într-un anumit fel, are dreptate. Muzica lui Wilson – ca însuși Wilson – este reală. Este sincer.
„Mă interesează doar să cânt, să-mi scot mesajul și să simt oamenii – și sper să îi pot face să mă simtă”.
If I could be you, if you could be me
For just one hour
If we could find a way to get inside
Each other’s mind
For just one hour
If we could find a way to get inside
Each other’s mind
If you could see you through my eyes
Instead of your ego
I believe you’d be, I believe you’d be surprised to see
That you’ve been blind
Instead of your ego
I believe you’d be, I believe you’d be surprised to see
That you’ve been blind

Walk a mile in my shoes
Yeah, before you abuse, criticize, and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Now there are people on reservations
And out in the ghetto
And, brother, there, but for the grace of God
And out in the ghetto
And, brother, there, but for the grace of God
Go you and I
If I only had the wings
Of a little angel
Don’t you know I’d fly to the top of a mountain
And then I’d cry, cry, cry?
