DESCRIPTION:
A very special tribute to Felix Pappalardi. Jack Bruce on vocals and bass, and Leslie West on guitar. This slideshow was only possible by the creative and magical work of MISTYB2008. Check her profile, she's a super-talent. Thank you Misty for giving us Mountain and Jack Bruce fans something to enjoy for many years to come.

This song is off Leslie West's rare "Theme" album. Leslie West and Jack Bruce got together on a Howard Stern radio appearance in 1988, where they played an inter-continental version of "Theme From An Imaginary Western." Bruce in England, West in Stern's NYC studio. Once they were done, they knew they had to record one last album together. This is that album.

Jack actually wrote the song. This song was Jack's favorite song that he ever wrote, but Clapton hated it... just couldn't get a feel for it. Leslie loved it, and Bruce gave it to Mountain to record... and the rest is history.


Theme For An Imaginary Western


When the wagons leave the city
For the forest and futher on
Painted wagons of the morning
Dusty roads where they have gone

Sometimes travelin´ through the darkness
Met the summer comin' home
Fallen faces by the wayside
Look as if they might have known

All the sun was in their eye
And the desert that´s dry
In the country town
Where the laughter sound

Oh the dancing and the singing
Oh the music when they play
Oh the fire that they started
All the girls with no regret

Sometimes they found it
Sometimes they kept it
Ofen lost it on the way
Fought each other to posses it
Sometimes die in sight of day

Oh the sun was in their eye
And the desert that´s dry
In the country town
where the laughter sound
