Talk
about the perfect stocking stuffer for guitar lovers! Check out this
fantastic 7” vinyl from the celebrated guitarist and founding member of
classic rock giants Mountain, Leslie West, who passed away just a few
days before
Christmas 2020. The vinyl’s A-side
is a deeply moving instrumental version of the beloved holiday hymn
“Silent Night,” originally released in 2015 on the Blues
Christmas
compilation, that opens with a gorgeous and moving acoustic guitar
arpeggiation before West comes in with a massive electric slide guitar
like a six-string slingin’ Santa coming down the chimney. The track is
the perfect distillation of West’s unique combination of tough and
tender playing, and a beautiful way to make this holiday season a little
extra bright.

The
B-side is no lump of coal either, it’s a killer cover of The Doors’
“Roadhouse Blues” with organist Brian Auger and blues master Rod Piazza!
This 7” is available as a limited-edition BLUE vinyl release, so don’t
delay and pick one up for the blues rock lover in your life today!
