Geils has been listed as a possible inductee into the Rock Hall, but the band never gets the call. Just as “Blue Suede Shoes” or “Hound Dog,” I can listen to Buddy Holly or the Everly Brothers and get as much enjoyment and even more than when I was a 10-year-old kid. Those songs are etched in classical aspects of what we call rock ’n’ roll. I still find it amazing younger fans still love to listen to classic rock. And from that we created something else and that resonated with a lot of people. We started out like the Stones, the Yardbirds and Eric Clapton as a blues-based rock ’n’ roll band influenced by the likes of Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters. And they became part of the historical aspect.

Geils catalog, what is it about that material that still resonates with fans today?Ī. So it’s another outlet to me to express a lot of the music stuff I have in my head. I love doing solo work because with Geils, we don’t tour that often. But I’m not sure who will be on the next one. I had Merle Haggard, Neko Case and Shelby Lynne on the last one. I really don’t make albums to have guests. I was supposed to have Bobby Womack, who was a friend of mine, but he passed away. Now you’re releasing a new solo CD next year. Your 2002 solo album “Sleepless” famously included guest appearances by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. As well, I learned a lot from them as a musician. One thing I can say about the Stones, they really were concerned about doing their best, keeping it up and kicking it high. The great thing about touring with the Stones for me was what happened behind closed doors afterwards. Oh, we were touring quite a lot with the Stones.
