ALBUM OUT NOW!
While the finishing touches are still being added to Ian’s upcoming album, Soul on West 53rd, the wait is over to get a sample of what’s in store.
The first single from the album is a double A side featuring a rocking version of Shake (originally by Otis Redding) and Ian’s take on Let’s Stay Together (originally by Al Green) a track some might remember fromthe Pulp Fiction soundtrack.
While the feature of the new album is Ian’s voice, he couldn’t let his guitar work take a back seat “There’s still a few nice moments on the guitar from me,” he adds, pointing to his raucous workout on a vintage Gretsch to close out Shake.
Shake/Let’s Stay Together is at radio and available on iTunes now.

Hi Ian and Troopers,
I really, really love Soul On…
Shake is one of my all time favourite songs.
Am I a pedant to ask if the Sam Cooke version is the original version? I love anything by Otis Redding of course!
And Ian, now you sing it, I can’t decide… Yours is SO great. Now I can’t POSSIBLY ever record it myself (Honestly a joke!!).
As for covering the Supreme Al Green: You’d be my first choice for any of his songs.
I hope to make your November 20 show and am rounding up as many friends as I can to go. My drummer husband is probs going to be a no show, but I’m working on my guitar loving brother in law and some of the parents from the Preschool where I work.
Got to go as I’ve got (house) work to do!
I trust that the tour and all things in your life are going very well.
Kindest regards
