2020 strikes again, Guitar virtuoso Leslie West (Mountain) has passed.
Mississippi Queen is one of my favorite guitar songs of all time. His tone was well known as incredible even back in the day.

"A contemporary of Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Jimi Hendrix, West was respected for his versatile playing (from fingerpicking to metallic power chords) and was revered by a new generation of guitar players who followed. In 2011, Eddie Van Halen told Rolling Stone that West and Deep Purple’s Ritchie Blackmore were among his biggest influences: “Leslie West has this incredible tone in Mountain,” Van Halen said"

His version, Leslie West"s, of Jack Bruce's Theme From an Imaginary Western is great. From the album "Theme". Also, "Hall of the mountain king>>exodus".
