For groups like the Rolling Stones names like Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf were exotic inspirations. For Siegel-Schwall they were the guys that played with them on 43rd Street Picture Quote #1

At night in the country, you’d be surprised how that music carries. You could hear my guitar way before you get to the house, and you could hear the peoples hollerin’ and screamin’ Picture Quote #1

Saturday night is your big night. Everybody used to fry up fish and have one hell of a time. Find me playing till sunrise for 50 cents and a sandwich. And be glad of it. And they really liked the low-down blues Picture Quote #1

I’d play whenever I could get my hands on an electric guitar; I was trying to pick up rock’n’roll riffs and electric blues-the latest Muddy Waters. I’d spend hours and hours on the same track, back again, and back again Picture Quote #1

My own musical background is based in the blues, and in classical composition. I grew up listening to Muddy Waters, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Beethoven and Bach Picture Quote #1

It made me sick - my name’s Keith Richards. It hardly makes it against Howlin’ Wolf or Muddy Waters, does it? On my first guitar I had Boy Blue written - just pathetic. But that was as good as I got at the time Picture Quote #1

Muddy Waters was, like, the king! He had a lot of adopted sons and daughters. I was just happy to be one of them Picture Quote #1

I saw an interview with Keith Richards. He said, ‘How else could a kid in Dartford suddenly connect with and understand what Muddy Waters is singing?’ There’s a cultural difference, but there’s just something in that music that subconsciously or internally you just understand; it just makes sense Picture Quote #1

I got up one Christmas morning and we didn’t have nothing to eat. We didn’t have an apple, we didn’t have an orange, we didn’t have a cake, we didn’t have nothing Picture Quote #1

I went down to my baby’s house and I sit down on her steps. She said, now come on in now, you know, my husband just left Picture Quote #1

It’s because of my musicians, we were weaned on Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, all the founding fathers, the gods of thunder, who invented the foundation and the pulse of the greatest music in the world! Picture Quote #1

Our little house was way back in the country. We had one house close to us, and hell the next one would’ve been a mile. If you got sick, you could holler and wouldn’t nobody hear you Picture Quote #1

Of course that was my idol, Son House. I think he did a lot for the Mississippi slide down there Picture Quote #1

So I went out and bought Hard Again by Muddy Waters. That was a big learning curve. I listened to that album again and again and again. James Cotton was the harmonica player on that album Picture Quote #1
