Buddy Miles Buddy Miles

The Band of Gypsys was a strong statement from three brothers. We all had intimacies and love, and we also had a feel for what we thought was right, and what we liked and what we enjoyed playing. Our music was a wide, wide spectrum – you had rockers, you had R&B and you most definitely had blues. . . . if you listen to the melody lines of ‘Machine Gun,’ it was really taken from a style which is called delta blues, like how they used to do it in the Deep South. [Hendrix] had a deep fascination with Muddy Waters. But that song was definitely not from the Chicago blues style, it was definitely from the Deep South.
