    Guitarist Leslie West died yesterday, from complications from diabetes. Founder of the Rock Band "Mountain" (Mississippi Queen) in 1969, West was a friend of Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townsend, guitarist for "The Who" and many other rock guitarists. West was age 75. We are losing the greats, of Classic Rock and Roll from both age, and illness. We will always have their music.

You've probably heard it on commercials, TV shows or movie scenes. You want cowbell? You ain't seen nothin yet. There is a long and short version of the song.

    I first heard this album in 1969 when I was in high school. Yea, the second it comes on, you're caught up in it. The Bassist, Felix Pappalardi also produced and played on the albums of the group Cream. I saw Mountain perform at the Fillmore East in NYC in 1970 for their "Nantucket sleighride" tour. At that time, they were the loudest band I had ever heard live and the Fillmore wasn't that big a concert hall. They rocked it. Glad to see you enjoy them. This was my era of rock.

Got out, went straight to Tyler, TX for college (late 1970), heard Mountain was opening for Black Sabbath in Dallas & hustled over to catch it. Left right after Mountain’s act - they were phenomenal! Loved your reaction, man! It’s pretty much the same as mine every time I hear this song! J

      I think you're right Paul Pelosi, about Mountain. Music sound really started changing end of 60s with super group Cream, then 1970 Mountain turned loose with Mississippi Queen & blew the radios up! Thus the Hard Rock sound emerged with groups like Free, Deep Purple, etc. Still my fav, great music & great memories!
