Mountain-Man´s World (1996)

Taking James Brown's iconic song "Man's World" as their inspiration, Mountain released their sixth album ten years after their previous release, "Go For Your Life". Led by the magnificent guitarist Leslie West, this new offering from the trio of West himself, bassist Mark Clarke, and drummer Corky Laing resulted in a tremendous album of powerful and engaging hard blues rock. Songs like the hard-hitting "In Your Face", "Crest Of A Slump", and "So Fine" are seamlessly and magnificently interwoven with the aforementioned "Man's World", a brilliant bluesy version, the blues-rock tracks "Thunder" and "Hotel Happiness", the melancholic "I'm Sorry" and "You'll Never Be Alone", and the catchy AOR track "I Look". With this sixth work, Leslie West established his enormous talent with the six strings and his undeniable compositional creativity, crafting another of his great works for posterity.
