Listening to Leslie West's recent release takes me back to the Empire Theatre in Edinburgh over thirty years ago. I saw Mountain live and to this day it remains one of the best 10 concerts I have attended.
I can still recall visiting Bruce's record store in Rose Street, Edinburgh a few years before the concert and hearing that unmistakable tone. We were shown the LP cover, listened a little longer, and came out of the shop with Mountain Climbing. A little later Nantucket Sleighride was released; to this day this is one of a few albums where every track is a killer.
Thank you Leslie for nearly forty years of joy!
The new album contains great blues, rock and even pop. My favourites, so far, are Third Degree and Love You Forever.
Music like this makes the rain glisten and your personal problems manageable!!!
