Check out this fantastic 7\u201d 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\u2019s A-side is a deeply moving instrumental version of the beloved holiday hymn \u201cSilent Night,\u201d 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\u2019 Santa coming down the chimney. The track is the perfect distillation of West\u2019s unique combination of tough and tender playing, and a beautiful way to make this holiday season a little extra bright.<br><br><strong>Stream\/download \u201cSilent Night\u201d:<\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/orcd.co\/leslie_west_silent_night\">https:\/\/orcd.co\/leslie_west_silent_night<\/a><br><br>The B-side is no lump of coal either, it\u2019s a killer cover of The Doors\u2019 \u201cRoadhouse Blues\u201d with organist Brian Auger and blues master Rod Piazza!
