Mountain - Don't Look Around



Today i was fiddling around with my vinyls and a record flashed thru, so i had to go back to pick it up and it was an old classic from the 70's, the record is still in very good condition, mostly because my perfection with these black magic things. The record was "Nantucket Sleighride" with Mountain that is an American hard rock band that formed in Long Island, New York in 1969. Originally comprising vocalist and guitarist Leslie West, bassist Felix Pappalardi and drummer N. D. Smart, the band broke up in 1972 before reuniting in 1974 and remaining active until today. Arguably best known for the song "Mississippi Queen", Mountain is one of many bands to be commonly credited as having influenced the development of heavy metal music in the 1970s.
