West, Leslie Soundcheck

2015, SOUNDCHECK is the sixteenth solo album by legendary rock guitarist Leslie West. It follows 2011's critically acclaimed UNUSUAL SUSPECTS, which featured contributions from such accomplished guitarists and close friends as Billy Gibbons, Slash, Zakk Wylde, Steve Lukather and Joe Bonamassa, and 2013's STILL CLIMBING, which included blistering duets with the late, great Johnny Winter, Jonny Lang and Mark Tremonti. For this new release, Leslie lays down some of his most inspired musical magic to date with the assistance of true rock royalty: the renown British guitarists Peter Frampton and Brian May, ex-Jeff Beck keyboard virtuoso Max Middleton, vocalist extraordinaire Bonnie Bramlett and the late great Cream bassist and longtime friend of Leslie's, Jack Bruce. Back in 1972, Leslie made musical history with Jack when they joined forces to form the super group West, Bruce and Laing. That one-of-a-kind signature guitar sound propels SOUNDCHECK throughout, evidenced by all eleven tracks on SOUNDCHECK.
