Stratosphere - with Ian Tait / guitar

Here's Stratosphere, a celebration of the marvelous Scottish guitarist Ian Tait's https://soundcloud.com/ian-tait getting his prized Stratocaster back from the repair shop.  When Ian released this heavy blues rocker earlier today I jumped on it, thinking we could bring up the intensity a little more with some heavier bass and synth work.  We've done a lot of great stuff together here on SC, so his immediate instincts were to let me have a run at it.   Thanks Ian.  The tune reminds me so much of one of the all-time classics - Mountain's Mississippi Queen

So here it is Ian.  He hasn't heard it yet but sure he'll approve.  And check out Ian's fantastically funky gallery - so much great stuff from the fine Chef himself, and many outstanding collabs too.  

We thank you so much for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares
