Words can not describe just how gut wrenchingly great the leslie cab and keyboard (probably a B3 Hammond) sound along with Mr. Leslie West's guitar solos. A very underrated group of musicians with such an awesome sound. When it comes to guitar work less is definitely better. Thank you Felix and Leslie.
Jack Bruce wrote this song. Mountain took it home. Great vocals, guitar, and drums. Still Jack Bruce was the angel that created something from nothing! Both versions give me a Woody towards life!
Great song by a very underrated band, I only found out about MOUNTAIN when D.C.3 covered this song on "The Blasting Concept Vol.2" compilation on SST Records back in 1986.
I know it's a little nostalgic to say this was the best era for music, but its absolutely true. The artists had more freedom to create and express, and fit 7 different concepts on one album, or tell a whole story. So glad I grew up in the 60s and 70s!
Was just reading that Michael Schenker loves this song. Not really the kind of thing I am into but Leslie West does have a good feel for the right notes and vibrato.
Mississippi Queens is Mountain's claim to fame, but "Theme from an Imaginary Western" is an excellent tune, perhaps their best, and "Nantucket Sleigh Ride" is also excellent
Just heard this song on DEEPTRACKS Sirius in my jeep while coming back from the Gym. Of course my stereo was set at 11 vibrating the mirror as I sang along.
breathtaking stunning and beautiful beyond words prob the best deep depthy solo guitar work and tones ever recorded wtf ? like god is speaking through them as they play kh
The greatest guitar solo of all time. He made the guitar speak, moan, cry, and wail; each note a masterpiece. Highest regard for Leslie Weinstein and Jack Bruce.
It's my ALL TIME FAVORITE song by Mountain. The lyrics to that song are… NOT to mention Leslie West's guitar. Why isn't it played on "classic rock" stations?
I saw Mountain many times in the 1969-1972 era. This song would always make me cry. It reminds me of the music of Scotland That I grew up with. Really.
Almost 50 yrs ago and it's still better than most of the crap from the last 10–20 years
That guitar tone is just beautiful.
Theres a version with Jack Bruce too
Angels,tired angels, Don't turn around,Nantucket Sleighride and this song mean so much to me,together with One last cold kiss.
THAT SOLO!!!!!
lol his wife popped him right?

I think of my dad when I hear this song. He was the son of Pioneer parents.
That B-3 throughout makes this tune. Saw them in 1968…..still love Mountain~Guitar solo should be in the top 10 //

Bruce and Pappalardi. Both giants in my musical world. Add Chris Squire. RIP
KISS' "Goin' Blind" was inspired by this song.
Leslie West…funny down to earth guy. Stay in Good health sir. Met you at Guitar Center in N.Y.C.
As a lifetime musician and music fan, this song was a transformative moment in time. What a band.
Jack Bruce wrote this song. Mountain took it home. Great vocals, guitar, and drums. Still Jack Bruce was the angel that created something from nothing! Both versions give me a Woody towards life!
Jesus H. Christ. Every *&^% note on that solo is etched in heaven. PERFECT.

Mountain should be up there with Sabbath and Zeppelin as forefathers of metal. Leslie West's guitar was so damn heavy
Always let this play after "Mississippi Queen".

Felix with his amazing voice😋
Felix had a great voice didn't he?
I love Claudina
A masterpiece!! Saw Mountain many times at Fillmore East. Brings back the best of times $3.50 for tix Crazy!!!
Felix totally killed it. Leslie West brought it home. Thank you Jack Bruce, for writing it!

Funny my record, same Mountain LP, has a lot of fuzz box in it and it's a lot better.
Capital in Portchester,and Ted Rail Rock bar in Nanuet. great shows,

So great and unique for its time. Great memories on this one. Stunning lead work as well.
