Still Climbing

Description

The return of the Woodstock veteran!Still at the top of his game, Leslie West returns with a new album once again co-produced by Danish Mike "Metal" Goldberg. It is a true testament to his extraordinary artistic longevity. And it's no surprise that the main theme of this new record is survival and triumph, given that the man has successfully overcome cancer.Famous for his power trio Mountain as well as for a prolific music career (in the studio with the Who on "Who's Next"..), West had no trouble gathering around him, for this record, heavyweights of the caliber of Johnny Winter, Dee Snider (singer of Twisted Sisters) or Johnny Lang. Extraordinary musicians you won't see coming to play on just any other artist's record!!!The result is a furious blend of blues and rock, all a bit heavier than his previous album. Notable is the great anthology moment on "Busted, Disgusted or Dead", where West and Winter engage in a true slide guitar duel!
