Thank God for Leslie and God bless Zakk!

[shanebush]

Absolutely killer. Leslie would be proud.

[malcshone]

Great job. I loved Mountain ( and of course, Leslie) ever since I first heard them in 1971. Ridiculously underrated and should have been a huge success world wide. What kind of useless management did they have FFS?!

[harambehigginsjr]

Would love to see zakk do a whole tribute album dedicated to Leslie West

[maazvdo]

Really good tribute! RIP, the best Leslie West. Thanks for share.

[sKraat]

This is brilliant, beautiful...but I'm sure even Zakk knows, it doesn't touch the original 😥 RIP Leslie West

[dianacrow]

[willvarela]

Wow!!! Thank you. I had a chance to jam with Leslie a very long time ago. We were both from Queens NY. RIP...

[Mr.D]

This track was produced brilliantly, love how the drums sound and amazing guitar tone from Zakk Wylde. His guitar is screaming as always and his vocals are like fine whiskey. A great tribute from one legend to another.

Re: the tribute album. What a great lineup and selection of songs! But where's "Dreams of Milk and Honey"?

[SouthWest]

Very good work on this tune. Would like to see him cover "never in my life" & Nantucket sleighride by mountain.

[MotörSkill]

Zakk has been busy making hot jams all year fresh all natural spread that shit on everything

[donsavignano]

Excellent job zakk. Leslie is looking down smileling. You frigging rock!

[natemendsen]

The sun may have set in the west, but the heat still remains

[Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

LYRICS:
Standin' on my pillow
Talkin' to the moon
Wadin' in the ocean
I'm sendin' for you soon

Reachin' for the handle
Achin' in my head
Woven in the bedsheets
And then I will understand

Yeah!

Sun comes over the city
Time goes in its hand
Politicians are screamin'
There's a time and a little to spare

Leanin' out of the window
Runnin' from the gun
Caught in webs of invention
It's the blood, it's the blood of the sun

Hidin' in the ocean
With the sunshine at my side
To leave the hard road behind me
There's a light on the road that I ride

Thunder down in the valley
Rainbow 'round the moon
To leave the city behind me
I'm sendin' for you soon
Yeah, I'm sendin' for you soon

[guaromiami]

I'm hearing heavy Chris Cornell vibes on the vocals.
