From The Heat Is On (1975). The Heat Is On is the thirteenth studio album by the American soul and funk group the Isley Brothers, released on June 7, 1975 on T-Neck Records and Epic Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for The Isley Brothers' other songs from The Heat Is On, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the middle pickup.
