This is some fine music by some excellent players

Ian Tait and I haven't released anything in a few weeks so we came up with a little cross the pond collaboration that turned into Scotch and Bourbon.  Named the tune for Ian's Scotch heritage, and since I'm from the US - but with roots back to Scotland on both my parents side - I went for our equivalent....Bourbon.  Two great drinks to share with you.  

A simple Hammond B3 organ vamp sets up the tune, and Ian added some additional interest with some moving bass lines, and his signature funked out wah wah playing.  We built upon that with some baritone sax lines and threw in the two solos - Ian is first and I follow using a favorite heavy electric guitar patch - an excellent foil.   Thanks for listening and for your comments.  They are rewarding to us.  And you can check out more of Ian's fine playing at his gallery:  https://soundcloud.com/ian-tait
