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"
“Before I leave I’d like to see our politics begin to return to the purposes and practices that distinguish our history from the history of other nations,
“I would like to see us recover our sense that we are more alike than different. We are citizens of a republic made of shared ideals forged in a new world to replace the tribal enmities that tormented the old one. Even in times of political turmoil such as these, we share that awesome heritage and the responsibility to embrace it.”

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".
