West, Bruce & Laing - Whatever Turns You On (CD)

What ever turns you on

By Frank  Nov 5, 2006

Pros: Jack Bruce ex cream member, with lesslie west and corky lang, ex moutain( 2 great groups)

Cons: this group was more of a studio type band that sounded better at the recording studio than Live

In my opinion, this was the best album West Bruce and Lang produced ( my 2nd choice was their 1st album ) some of the tracks sounded like Cream and then like Moutain, sometimes both combined. some critics claimed the drummer (corky Lang) was'nt a...s hot as ginger baker, but I feel he did an excellent job.(after all he was West's lifetime drummer) this band I feel was overlooked during it's time. Jack Bruce stepped in shortly thereafter the absence of felix pappalari (who was shot and killed in a domestic dispute) Sadly it's seems they (WB&L) were not together long enough for things to gel. (Alot of potential though) and the timing was'nt right as they fell victims of the start of the disco era music (which was a verry sad time for rock and roll) Read more Less
