Leslie West and Co brought a fantastic good blues-based album called Guitarded. Everything is OK here, fine proportion between blues and hard rock, it even can be close to perfection product if you are in such things. The release starts off with very solid ’Allergic’ and ’Solution’ tracks, then comes the biggest ’Cross Cut Saw Blues’. The things to back off slightly with ’Stormy Monday’ and ’Honky Tonk Woman’, but the next bluesy ’Hang Me Out to Dry’ is a pure die-for-level composition. The other material are also significant, although not filler-free, you need to listen it. Generally, the strongest blues rock output from Leslie West, that did not leave any chance for competitors. The latest solo album from Leslie West is entitled “Guitarded“. Taking the recordings from various sources, the album consists of new recordings of newer material alongside older songs. Of the newer songs there is “The Cell“ which features former Rainbow/Deep Purple vocalist Joe Lynn Turner, and “Allergic“ featuring Ten Years After bassist Leo Lyons.
