- One of the most respected and successful rock/blues guitarist on the scene! One of Leslie’s best albums to date! Leslie has a dedicated following worldwide. Featuring guest appearances by Slash, Joe Bonamassa, Steve Lukather, Zakk Wylde, Kenny Aronoff and Billy F. Gibbons/ ZZ TOP [!]
At age 65, West stands entirely undiminished on The Unusual Suspects, a proud mix of boogies, blues, rockers and ballads that puts his songwriting skills at the fore in tunes like the hard rocking “Mississippi Queen” flashback “Mudflap Mama” and the sweet, soulful love song “You and Me.”
West’s title for the album was inspired by his handpicked roster of A-list six-string co-stars, which includes Z.Z. Top’s Billy Gibbons, Slash, ex-Ozzy Osbourne foil Zakk Wylde, blues-rock firebrand Joe Bonamassa and L.A. session giant and Toto leader Steve Lukather. The other distinguished guest is drummer Kenny Aronoff, whose powerhouse style has made him a first-call accomplice for John Fogerty, John Mellencamp, Willie Nelson, Rod Stewart and many others.
“These guys don’t show up to play on everybody’s albums,” West declares. “They’re all stars in their own right, and fantastic players — every one with their own sound and style, and about as far from ‘the usual suspects’ as it gets.”
