CD Reviews
What's Gotten Into This Man?
John Terry | Kansas City, Mo | 03/16/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"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!"
This is a compilation

"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."
Best Blues - Rock Album This Year!

"Lots of jams here from one of the greats. Sound quality and mixing is excellent. The Live cuts are superb ending with a tribute to Felix P. With all the new junk out there this was a real breath of fresh air. Anybody that likes Blues and Rock will want this album."

"If you are into 70s rock you will love this album...I am an aspiring guitarist growing up in the 60s .. 70s..Ye..I am old... but if you like pure Rock & Blues some of us "old timers" still can hold our own !!!"
