Editorial Reviews

"Got Blooze" contains the kind of guttural vocals and soulful bluesy guitar playing that have established Leslie as one of the greatest talents in the history of rock and roll and delivers the kind of high level performance, which West fans have come to expect. Leslie teams up with legendary drummer Aynsley Dunbar and bassist Tim Bogert for a true blues power trio that combine for a unique synergy that is seldom heard today.

Got Blooze? Leslie sure does. This is by far the most complete Leslie West Offering to be released to date. I've got everything that this great guitar player has put out from his early days, Mountain days, and West Bruce & Lang days. Leslie has always had one foot in the blues with that signature sound of his. Over the last decade, Leslie has journeyed along a road that has seen him getting to this point of pure lay it down blues. 1999's As Phat as it gets had Leslie revisting "Stormy Monday". Mountain's Mystic Fire had "Better off with the Blues". Leslie's last offering "Blues to Die for" saw him going into the blues for his first full CD. This CD surpasses the previous one by miles. The bottom end of Aynsley Dunbar and Tim Bogart is fleshed out with the addition of guitarist Kevin Curry to allow Leslie to play that guitar of his the way only he can on some of the classic rock and roll blues numbers of all time! His take on "The Thrill is gone" is one of the best versions I've ever heard. Every song is a keeper from the opening chords of "Baby Please Don't Go" to "Heartbreak Hotel" (as only Leslie could Play it). Hey, I'm a fan, but not everything that Leslie has released has been this complete. If you like Rock and Roll Blues, Mountain, and great Guitar playing you owe it to yourself to pick this CD up. Bring the show up to WestCliffe Leslie. You could headline the jazz festival this summer under the Blood of the Sun-the Sangre de Cristos.

If you've read my Leslie West reviews, you know I love the man's music. Still, I'm reasonably sure that I'd be able to recognize a stinker if he put one out. This one isn't it. Differences between this album and the last couple? I'd guess I'd have to say the lack of guest stars and the fact that this is most overtly blues release of them all. I truly think the man is doing some of the best work of his life. Keep them coming, Leslie. I'm looking forward to it.

the latest LW cd is actually a solid old blues standard songs-done LESLIE STYLE!!. if you are a MOUNTAIN fan, a blues fan or just a fan of leslies--then this cd is for you. the songs are classic and showcase leslie's talent very well. if you think you know great slide guitar and never heard of leslie then you are in for a treat and a lesson. there are many today's guitar players who have taken in leslie's style(warren haynes) for one. this cd is just another solid and entertaining fest of blues. the inside booklet with leslie and his wife shay state: "I may not have the blues anymore, but I sure can play them" pretty much sums of this cd. go get it, you WILL NOT be disappointed!!!!
