Leslie West-ALLIGATOR-CD - 1989/2006 I.R.S. Records/Voiceprint-604388322220-300 grn
ALLIGATOR is a 1989 album by Leslie West featuring Stanley Clarke on bass and Steve Luongo on drums, although Clarke only appears on two tracks: "Whiskey" and "All of Me". ALLIGATOR recorded in 1986 and released in 1989. Leslie sure has an impressive bass-player Rolodex. He had Jack Bruce on Theme in 88, then Stanley Clarke on this 1989 album! Wests six strings just blaze here on the Hall of the Mountain King/Theme from Exodus suite. His own spin on I Put a Spell on You, and more. Originally released in 1989 on IRS Illegal Records imprint, Leslie Wests Alligator seemed then and still seems now, as evidenced by this straight reissue from Voiceprint Records, to be mostly West treading water. He plays some hot guitar here, of course, but then not as much as one might like, and he sings a lot here, too, perhaps more than one might like. It all adds up to rather ho hum album without a single track that really takes your head off, although the flashy "Hall of the Mountain King/Theme from Exodus" mini-suite sure aims for sonic decapitation, as does the screeching "Whiskey" (featuring bass by Stanley Clarke), and Wests cover of Screamin Jay Hawkins "I Put a Spell on You" is certainly atmospheric enough, but in the end it all seems more like cage rattling than a substantial musical statement. Stick to the early Mountain records for West at his best.

P.S. LESLIE WEST (Leslie Weinstein). Musician. Born 22 October 1945 - Died 22 December 2020.
He had to cope with a variety of health problems over the years. In the mid-80s he was diagnosed with diabetes, and in 2011 diabetic complications forced him to have his right lower leg amputated. In the early 2000s he survived bladder cancer. Leslie West, who has died aged 75 following a cardiac arrest, could claim to be one of the creators of heavy metal. His band Mountain made a spectacular impact when they played their fourth gig at the original Woodstock festival in August 1969, alongside the likes of the Who, Jimi Hendrix and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
