Whats playing on your system today?

Slaw - pleased you are checking out Leslie West.  I am not familiar with that one...my bet is the music will be good but I'm anxious the sound quality will be bad and turn you off.  I'm going to see if I can find it on Spotify (or YouTube).  Get a feel for what that ones about.  By the way - I definitely pay attention to your music posts.  Appreciate them.

Found it, Slaw. A 2015 release...sonics seem very good. Haven’t heard enough of it to know what I think of the music yet (does he still have the fire?). Do like his cover of You Are My Sunshine (several covers on this one).  From Track 6 (A Stern Warning) it seems like he still has decent chops.  His voice seems to have held up pretty well  which kind of surprised me.  Don't know how much auto-tune they had to use.  

As far as BAD sound quality, it’s some of the post-Mountain (archival?) releases of so-called Mountain recordings...from concerts etc. that are just plain terrible sound-wise. There oughta be a law (or a good lawsuit)! to prevent that kind of stuff.

I like reading record reviews while listening.  Here's one on Leslie and this Soundcheck release.  Love the fact that the closing track has Jack on vocals (but geez, couldn't they find a good sound guy to capture ANY of their live recordings???)

ghosthouse, Thanks for you kind words.

This (just) came to my inbox,

His last lp "Hoodoo" was all analog and kicked butt!

I ordered Leslie West "Soundcheck". After reading all of your feedback, listening to several cuts and reading the guest appearances, I had to have it. Thanks for the recommendation!

Today I listened to Monty Montgomery "Mirror". Check out track 10, When will I ". It's  a live recording and a very good one.
