Leslie West's Muddy Waters Tribute - Standing Around Crying video free download
Leslie may have grown up in Forest Hills, a predominately upper class community in Queens, NY. However, he schooled himself from his early days in the early 1960's in a variety of blues legends, from Muddy Waters to Howling Wolf.
Here is Leslie's soulful rendition of "Standing Around Crying"... clearly a tribute to one of his idols, Muddy Waters.
At the end of the video... we put together a small tribute to the troops fighting for Peace all around the world, and the sacrifices their families have paid. Salute!

Leslie West probably one of the best guitarist of blues from his generation...I have listened to him ever since I was a young lad of 13 and he is still one of my favorites and now I'm an old guy...Rock on Leslie13 years ago

Wonder who's the idiot to give THIS 1, a thumbs down? A deaf man would give it two thumbs up. A crying shame there is not ONE radio station to play nothing but the obscure and undiscovered treasures. The true diamonds in the rough. What a tune. Makes one happy to have been around at a time when one could be exposed to it. Thanks for sharing.14 years ago
