Mountain Frontman Leslie West Passes Away, Sang "Mississippi Queen"

Leslie West And Mountain. EN MEMORIA DE LESLIE WEST, EL SENSACIONAL GUITARRISTA DE MOUNTAIN PyD West's unique throaty voice and incredible guitar virtuosity, strongly based in the Blues tradition, sets him apart from most of his contemporaries and this little known gem is a great piece of. Anyone with a deeper interest in the music West created, both as a member of Mountain and under various solo and band guises, would know his work is crammed with thundering riffs and exquisitely expressive soloing.

The band's close to classic lineup, sans soon-to-be-enlisted drummer Corky Laing, ripped through a set largely culled from guitarist Leslie West's recently released solo album entitled "Mountain." The wide-eyed, expressive and impressively built West manned center stage as if the fates conspired to. To the uninitiated, West is best remembered for "Mississippi Queen," an essential hard rocker from the classic rock canon
