While my spaceship is being refuelled, I offer another oblique take on the blues.
Yesterday, on his 'Blues Thursday', the great bluesman Al Wood put forward an open collaboration where he plays acoustic guitar:

Al is stunning on electric, but I really dig his acoustic playing too, so I quickly took his track and laid down some electric guitars of my own on top of his acoustic.
There's a modal feel to his chord work, so I got some raga touches on there. albeit rather ragged. I kept thinking of the Beatles' 'Within and Without You', which is slyly [mis]quoted quite a few times.
Also, the changes reminded me of Hawkwind's 'Hurry On Sundown', so the spaceship did get a few revs.


The guitars I used were a Tokai Telecaster, a Fender Stratocaster and a Gibson Les Paul.

Al Wood, acoustic guitar
Bill Boethius, electric guitars.

Orignal idea by Al Wood.
Produced and arranged by Bill Boethius.
