(Sing it) Mississippi Queen , you know what I mean...
Yeah, that was Mountain. And they have lived up to
every expectation with Masters of War. Band leader
Leslie West, sometimes remembered a small part in
the classic movie Money Pit with Tom Hanks as Lana
the cross dressing rocker, brings another slab of
Mountain style rock
This album is pretty cool. While there are eight
smagillion-trillion Bob Dylan
cover/tribute albums out there this one is in my top
three. You can't do much
better than having Ozzy Ozbourne whip out the vocals
on the opening track -
Masters of War. Tastefully and soulfully done this
is great front porch
sittin', hot summer sun melting, real, in your face,
Dylan.
Key Tracks: Masters of War, Serve Somebody, The Times
They Are A Changin' (
this one makes me teary-eyed), and the best (acoustic)
version of Blowin' in
the Wind I have ever heard!
