Synopsis

Album Description
Combined on the one cd for the first time, these two albums - 'climbing!' and 'nantucket sleighride' - reinforce the heavyweight impact of one of the greatest rock acts of the 1970s, the mighty mountain. Led by the gargantuan leslie west - a phenomenal guitar player and owner of a roaring, barrelhouse vocal bawl - and multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger and producer felix pappalardi - one of rock music's true visionaries - mountain cut a swaggering path through the times with a sound that distilled the true essence of the american hard rock tradition, a sound that still reverberates to this day. Their 1970 debut 'climbing!' featured the hit single 'mississippi queen', a classic rock essential that never outstays its welcome, while 'nantucket sleighride' (1971) consolidated their position with monumental tracks like 'don't look around' and 'nantucket sleighride', pappalardi's epic tale of searching "for the mighty sperm whale". These songs have stood the test of time, sounding as potent today as they did upon original release. Featuring 20 tracks, including two bonus cuts, and 77 minutes of superb audio quality this power-packed 2-for-1 cd will satisfy fans of loud, raucous blues rock and classic rock guitar fireworks.
