Theme For An Imaginary Western - Jack Bruce & Leslie West video free download

A very special tribute to Felix Pappalardi. Jack Bruce on vocals and bass, and Leslie West on guitar. This slideshow was only possible by the creative and magical work of MISTYB2008. Check her profile, she's a super-talent. Thank you Misty for giving us Mountain and Jack Bruce fans something to enjoy for many years to come.

This song is off Leslie West's rare "Theme" album. Leslie West and Jack Bruce got together on a Howard Stern radio appearance in 1988, where they played an inter-continental version of "Theme From An Imaginary Western." Bruce in England, West in Stern's NYC studio. Once they were done, they knew they had to record one last album together. This is that album.

Jack actually wrote the song. This song was Jack's favorite song that he ever wrote, but Clapton hated it... just couldn't get a feel for it. Leslie loved it, and Bruce gave it to Mountain to record... and the rest is history.

Theme For An Imaginary Western

When the wagons leave the city

For the forest and futher on

Painted wagons of the morning

Dusty roads where they have gone

Sometimes travelin´ through the darkness

Met the summer comin' home

Fallen faces by the wayside

Look as if they might have known

All the sun was in their eye

And the desert that´s dry

In the country town

Where the laughter sound

Oh the dancing and the singing

Oh the music when they play

Oh the fire that they started

All the girls with no regret

Sometimes they found it

Sometimes they kept it

Ofen lost it on the way

Fought each other to posses it

Sometimes die in sight of day

Oh the sun was in their eye

And the desert that´s dry

In the country town

where the laughter sound
