I already own most of Leslie West's efforts, and I thought I had him pretty much covered. That's the beauty of this. Found some jewels here and had to have it. Maybe someday this Phat cat will be given his due. Hendrix picked up a bass to jam with West. What does that tell you? This guy wears it on his sleeve. If you don't have his very first solo effort, I highly recommend it. There are musicians out there that live for record sales or notariety. Not this dude. Do yourself a favor and track down some video of Mountain's performance at Woodstock. He's always challenging -- always in the moment. Blackmore, Page, Beck, Hendrix. I love 'em. Still, there is a special quality in this man. An urgency. Always best when played loud
