The late LESLIE WEST was one of the great, BIG characters of American rock and roll. His passing in December, 2020, at the age of seventy-five from cardiac arrest, drew to a close a career that embraced vertiginous highs and deep troughs. Throughout it all, though, West remained garrulous, loud and unafraid to voice his opinion. West is featured on two releases from the Voiceprint division of North London indie Floating World Records – the first, entitled ‘Five Originals’, features five full length albums on three CDs, and includes his album ‘The Great Fatsby’, which is unique insofar as it features ‘High Roller’, a very rare co-write with West and the ‘Glimmer Twins’ themselves - Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones. Jagger even puts in a shift on rhythm guitar, proving that he is equally as talented at the ‘Keef chord’ as the Human Riff himself. The Leslie West Band also featured West’s long-time drumming foil, Corky Laing, as well as British guitarist Mick Jones, who would soon quit to form the multi-million selling Foreigner.
