I do remember actually learning chords to Beatles songs. I thought they were great songwriters.

The Blues scene now is international. In the '50s it was purely something that you would hear in black clubs, played by black musicians, especially in America. But from the '60s onwards it changed

I've never stopped learning.

It's not rubbish to say that I was a bit peeved about not getting credit for a couple of songs, but that wasn't the whole reason. I guess I just felt like I had enough. I decided to leave and start a group with Jack Bruce

It's frustrating actually, the time involved in getting something released these days. My new CD has actually been finished for a year. It's only now that it's being released

I've written lots of songs on the piano. My mother had a piano and it was the first instrument I played

The Beatles and The Stones were basically inspired by American Rhythm and Blues
