A duck walked into my kitchen this morning.

Since there's only room for me to write a few songs on each band album, I really have to use my songs. But on my own album I had room to use songs I wanted.

The old Fleetwood Mac was much better; they did some beautiful and, to my mind, very authentic blues. Chicken Shack did pretty well in Europe, but after I left, it was over.

I cover most of the sound that we use on records with what I have. And people tell us that we still sound pretty big for a band with four instrumentalists.

I wouldn't think a blues album would be that commercially successful, but I don't really care. I'd do it for the love of blues, not for the money. I've got plenty of money.

At the moment I'm really happy.
