The late, great Ian McLagan’s CV read like a veritable who’s who of rock’n’roll. He first came to prominence in the mid-60s as one quarter of quintessential mod outfit the Small Faces, prior to which his Muleskinners backed both Howlin’ Wolf and Sonny Boy Williamson. In the early 70s, he teamed up with Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood in The Faces. He’s since shared stages and studios with the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Chuck Berry, Bonnie Raitt, the Everly Brothers, Georgia Satellites, Melissa Etheridge, Bruce Springsteen and Billy Bragg. In 2008, McLagan – who passed away in 2014 – sat down to share his recollections of just a handful of his collaborators and confidants.
