Leslie West, the legendary guitarist, vocalist and original founding member of Mountain, will release a new studio album “Still Climbing” on October 28th via Provogue Records \/ Mascot Label Group. <\/p>\n

Since his historic performance with Mountain at the 1969 Woodstock Festival, West has enjoyed a glittering career spanning over half a century, accomplished in spite of a life threatening battle with diabetes, which cost him his right leg in 2011 (shortly before the release of his \u201cUnusual Suspects\u201d album).<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m lucky it wasn\u2019t one of my hands or I\u2019d be screwed,” says West. “It was a difficult struggle, and after the amputation I didn\u2019t know whether I\u2019d ever want to or be able to perform again. A month later I played at the Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll Fantasy Camp in New York City, and I heard my guitar on stage and that was it. I knew I had to keep going.”<\/p>\n

Looked upon by West as a sequel to \u201cUnusual Suspects\u201d, which featured collaborations with the likes of Slash, Zakk Wylde, Steve Lukather, Joe Bonamassa and Billy Gibbons, \u201cStill Climbing\u201d sees West joining forces with Jonny Lang, Johnny Winter, Twisted Sister\u2019s Dee Snider and Alter Bridge and Creed\u2019s Mark Tremonti. <\/p>\n
