I couldn't find the thread to resurrect this interview (though at the end The Ledge is mentioned). I found interesting that when asked about the vamp section of The Chain, he replies that all those bass lines are his. So that must include that same section in Keep Me There, but that song is credited just to Christine on the Deluxe Edition CD sleeve. If an instrument player contributes some lines to a song, shouldn't his name be included alongside the main songwriter?
Also interesting how he describes the Time band as 2 bands (obviously it’s about Christine presence or absence). But though he said he is happy with the lineup, he also said Bekka's playing is very R&B, Billy is rock & roll and rockabilly, and Dave is... Well, Dave!
