The great British blues guitarists of the Sixties - people like Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page and Peter Green - could play like virtuosos, but they also understood the importance of energy and intensity

I've come to realize that you live on through recordings; they're like a musical diary, a window into somebody's soul.
