Leslie West of Mountain with his USA Leslie West Signature Guitar



Leslie West Rocks the Jammys in '08!

Dean artist Leslie West of Mountain rocked it at the The Jammy Awards 2008, at the WAMU Theater - Madison Square Garden in New York City. Some highlights and comments from the show...

An excerpt from the full review on jambands.com as well as relix.com:

"...Mountain guitarist Leslie West took the stage with Rose Hill Drive for the evening¹s loudest offerings. The hard-rock guitarist jammed with Rose Hill Drive and Potter on a version of "I'm Going Down" that included "Close Encounters", before offering his signature song, "Mississippi Queen." West also joked that Potter was far more attractive than the members of his testosterone-filled band."

A blogger commented on the nyc-freaks mailing list:

"My ears are still bleeding from Leslie West's guitar. His two songs with Rose Hill were serious heat."

From rollingstone.com:

"The Jammys are an alternate-universe Grammys, a mix of industry glitz and pot-head bonhomie. Awards are given, speeches made (Warren Haynes and Grace Potter hosted with the right minimum of formality), and the performances are celebrity gumbo < mixtures of stars from the jam-band scene, well, jamming. But the combinations were strong, often delightful. Singer-guitarist Leslie West of Mountain slammed into "Mississippi Queen" backed by the Colorado power trio Rose Hill Drive."

From billboard.com:

"...Leslie West, backed by Rose Hill Drive, also got the audience worked up, especially during a rowdy take on "Mississippi Queen."

From Glide Magazine:

"Grace Potter did an amazing job both co-hosting the show and playing with the supergroup, as well as sitting in with Rose Hill Drive and Leslie West of Mountain (Mississippi Queen was sick!)."
