Blues & Rock music Ilija Capko's video: Leslie West - Summertime

From the Album: Collection, Year of Release: September 25, 2007 Lyrics : Summertime Leslie West- Collection The Blues Bureau Years contains some of Leslie's greatest Blues Bureau performances and is perhaps the definitive showcaseof West's extraordinary guitar ability in the blues/rock realm, played with an intensity and prowess that reveals both his deep blues roots and his mastery of the blues guitar. "Collection" is Leslie West's compilation of tracks recorded from his Blues Bureau years (a division of Shrapnel Records), and includes twelve tracks recorded from 1993 to 2006. West's tracks come from a number of blues CDs starting in 1993, such as "Blue Me", "Got Blooz?", "Dodgin' The Dirt" and "Live". "Collection" contains the kind of guttural vocals and soulful bluesy guitar playing that have established Leslie as one of the greatest talents in the history of rock and roll. True blues power trio that combine for a unique synergy that is seldom heard today.

His death was confirmed by Dean Guitars. “With a heavy heart, we are saddened to hear about the passing of Dean Artist and part of the Dean family, Leslie West. Legendary and one of a kind. Rest In Peace,” read a tweet from the guitar company. According to Rolling Stone, West suffered a cardiac arrest at his home near Daytona, Florida, and never regained consciousness. West was born Leslie Weinstein in New York City on October 22nd, 1945. He originally formed Mountain in 1969, with the band breaking up and regrouping on various occasions over the past 50 years. Mountain released several albums throughout the decades, beginning with their 1970 debut, Climbing! That LP yielded the group’s signature song, “Mississippi Queen”, which has since been covered by numerous acts, including Ozzy Osbourne. Mountain’s last album was 2007’s Masters of War, which consisted entirely of Bob Dylan covers and featured guest vocals by Ozzy on the title track. Among Mountain’s other career highlights was a legendary performance at Woodstock — which, incredibly, marked only the band’s third gig ever. Prior to releasing Mountain’s debut album, West released a solo LP, titled Mountain, which featured the single “Long Red”. He played the song with Mountain at Woodstock and the drum break from that performance is one of the most sampled pieces of music in hip-hop. It’s been used in more than 600 songs, including tracks by Eric B. & Rakim, EPMD, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Eminem, and more. In the days leading up to his passing, reports surfaced that West was in ill health. His brother Larry wrote on Facebook, “His heart gave out and he’s on a ventilator. May not make it through the night.” Larry since confirmed Leslie’s passing to Rolling Stone. Over the years, West has been cited by dozens of hard-rock and metal musicians as a major influence, including the late Eddie Van Halen, who once marveled at West’s guitar tone in an interview with Rolling Stone. Prior to West’s passing, Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider tweeted, “The final hours on this earth for the amazing Leslie West of Mountain. His voice and guitar will be silenced but his music will live forever. I am heartbroken. Prayers for him and his amazing wife, his rock, Jenni.” In 2011, West had his lower right leg amputated due to complications from diabetes. Just last week, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl covered “Mississippi Queen” with Greg Kurstin as part of an eight-night Hanukkah tribute to Jewish musicians.
