The Story
The latest solo album from Leslie West is entitled "Guitarded". Taking the recordings from various sources, the album consists of new recordings of newer material alongside older songs. Of the newer songs there is "The Cell" which features former Rainbow/Deep Purple vocalist Joe Lynn Turner, and "Allergic" featuring Ten Years After bassist Leo Lyons. Leslie has also re-visited Mountain with a live recording of "Theme For An Imaginary Western" recorded live on the Night Of The Guitar tour at the end of the eighties. There are also special appearances from Aynsley Dunbar ("Crosscut Saw") Ian Gillan ("Hang Me Out To Dry") Gregg Allman ("If Heartaches Were Nickels") Poppa Chubby ("Stormy Monday") and former Uriah Heep, Colosseum and one time Mountain Bassist Mark Clarke ("Old Brown Shoe"). "Guitarded" is the latest in a long line of excellent albums from one of rock music's finest guitarists and will be welcomed not only by the large and dedicated Mountain fan base but also fans of well crafted and more importantly fans of well-played guitar led music.
