Still Phat After All These Years!

"Can it be? Is this the same Leslie West who could hardly remember the words to "Nantucket Sleighride" 6 years ago? Apparently, the Great Fatsby just keeps getting BETTER with age! "Alligator" was OK, "Dodgin' the Dirt" was good, "Man's World" rocked, but "As Phat as It Gets" rules! Solid songs, great riffs, and that rough-as-ever voice are sure to delight even the most marginal of fans. Rock on, Leslie!"

Thirty years of the Best

"Thirty years after Leslie West : Mountain , here comes the ultimate proof of Leslie's wonderful guitar and vocal power : twelve tracks that raise the roof. His songwriting is superb, particularly "The Cell" ; and the new material blends real well with old Freddie King blues numbers and an update of the famous Atlanta Festival improvisation "Stormy Monday". West has never sounded better. This disc is a delight. Felix once said : I've known him for seven years and I said then he was the best; and he's still the BEST! We've known the Best for thirty years now and this guy is like vintage wine. What a wonderful way to open the new century! A superb buy!"

"Not as good as "Blues To Die For." Better than 4 stars, not quite a 5, but closer to 5 than 4, so it gets the 5. Stormy Monday is a 10. Worth the price just for that one, all the rest are a bonus."
