Steve Miller Band

Guitar World - October 2021
Interview from October 2021 Issue of Guitar World magazine

I'll try one. To me, the song "Wild Blue" sounds like it came straight off Fleetwood Mac's Tango in the Night — the driving-but-relaxed rhythm, the taut, clean-toned guitar lines, the soft background vocals. If I were to get even more specific, our first solo in that one sounds to my ears like Lindsey Buckingham playing through Mark Knopfler's gear.

[Laughs] The solo is certainly a Knopfler thing. Although the song makes me think more of Boz Skaggs in, like '79, '80, like a really tightly engineered, two-inch tape thing. Maybe Alan Parsons. Or [Steve Miller Band's] "Abracadabra."
