Rodgers told The Pulse of Radio that during his stints in all four bands — and on his own — the one musical inspiration has always been the blues. "You used to look around and think, 'God, is there no other way?', you know?" he said. "And then I heard these blues guys singing about jumping on the first train smoking, and heading out of town, you know, and my friends can have my room. And I thought, 'Wouldn't it be great if you could just do that?' And that drew me to playing and singing blues. And it's actually what I did, and I'm still doing."
