http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4274&rws=%2Fmountain%2Ftop-tracks.rssForever linked to the term "cowbell rock" thanks to their signature hit, "Mississippi Queen," Mountain were formed in 1969 by guitarist/singer Leslie West and bassist Felix Pappalardi, a British producer who had done extensive work with Cream. With similarly beefy blues riffs and a proclivity for noisy psychedelia, the band added a keyboard player to avoid accusations of straight Cream imitation and released a debut, <i>Climbing!</i>, in 1970, following an undocumented performance at Woodstock. The album yielded the classic-rock staple "Mississippi Queen," with its eternal cowbell tocks and West's screamed vocals over what is arguably the fuzziest guitar riff ever allowed on mainstream radio (it was a Top 10 hit at the time). Two albums, <i>Nantucket Sleighride</i> and <i>Flowers of Evil</i> (featuring an entire side of live material), followed, both released in 1971. A year later the band broke up. West launched West, Bruce & Laing with Cream bassist Jack Bruce and Mountain drummer Corky Laing, and a stream of best-ofs and live packagings of Mountain material followed. Throughout the years, Mountain have toured and recorded periodically, with <i>Masters of War</i>, an album of 12 Bob Dylan covers, appearing as recently as 2007. - Mike McGuirkHard Rocken720Wed, 2 Dec 2009 10:58:35 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4274&rws=%2Fmountain%2Ftop-tracks.rss Forever linked to the term "cowbell rock" thanks to their signature hit, "Mississippi Queen," Mountain were formed in 1969 by guitarist/singer Leslie West and bassist Felix Pappalardi, a British producer who had done extensive work with Cream.
