My guitar style was developed during that 10-year period. That's me. That's the way I play, and I don't wish to play any other way. Our own individual identities are firmly stamped on this album.

It's interesting when something new comes along, a band of dwarfs playing electronic harps or something, but I'm not searching.

I don't like to tell people what format they can get things in, or say, I'm only going to release this on vinyl and nothing else. You have to come to my world. I don't like to say that to people either. But, I do think there's a loss of romance.

I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn't teach it in school.

The element of change has been the thing, really. We put out the first one, then the second... then a third LP totally different from them. It's the reason we were able to keep it together.

Artists say that paintings are never done. I sort of feel the same way about music. I would never say something is perfect. There are performances that can generate a lot of emotion in me when I hear them, but I can't say if anything is perfect.

So many people are frightened to take a chance in life and there's so many chances you have to take.

If you wanted to chart new territories and head off over the horizon, you had to make sure you weren't overly influenced by what others were doing ... so it didn't matter what other bands were doing ... we did what we were doing.

You can't overthink the music. Mood and intensity can't be manufactured. The blues isn't about structure it's what you bring to it. The spontaneity of capturing a speciļ¬c moment is what drives it.
