5.0 out of 5 stars What's Gotten Into This Man?, March 16, 2005

Leslie West must have gone down to the crossroads and sold his soul to the devil. He's certainly playing and singing like a man possessed. His guitar roars throughout this entire album and his demonic growl is in fine form. Never mind the guest stars, they pale in comparison to the man himself. Leslie West is pure energy, he is the soul of blues and rock and roll and he's putting out stuff equal to or surpassing a lot of his Mountain work. Check out "Cross Cut Saw", "Honky Tonk Woman" and "Stormy Monday". Those are just a few of the delicious side dishes that comprise the feast known as "Guitarded". Bon Appetit!

4.0 out of 5 stars ARE THESE NEW RECORDINGS???, March 26, 2005

First of all, let me say that I've been a huge fan of Leslie's since the Woodstock album and his first Mountain album...Leslie and his Gibson guitars...man, he had THE tone. As far as this cd goes, I'm not really sure what's going on here. I already have 10 of the 13 songs on previous Leslie West cd's...and I believe that 9 of the 10 are the exact same versions. The only songs on this release that I didn't already have are "If Heartaches Were Nickels" (a decent song), a cover of Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild" (oh, so awful drum machine!) and George Harrison's "Old Brown Shoe" (a good job on this one). If somebody out there close to Leslie reads this, PLEASE hide all of his guitars that have a tremolo unit on it and please hide that guitar processor that he's been using lately. These items are made for people who WISH they could have Leslie's sound, not for Leslie himself. In summation, it's a must-have for Leslie West fans, but I don't know if this is supposed to be a compilation cd or not (the All Music Guide does not list it as a compilation).

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a compilation, November 8, 2005

There are no liner notes, or anything on the CD or its cover to so indicate, but if you look at these songs as part of Leslie's catalog, they were released in the 10 or so years preceeding this disc.

That being said, it amounts to a post-Mountain "best of". Stormy Monday and Third Degree especially sound fine, but the rest of the album is good too. I would have liked some real liner notes, but the music is tasty.
