Mountain was truly one of those bands for which I knew one (and only one) of their songs for over twenty years. That song, of course, is Mississippi Queen. With the distinctive cow bell and blistering guitar, that tune was immediately recognizable. Still, I was never moved to listen to more of the Long Island band's catalog. I probably assumed that if classic rock radio did not play any more of their songs, there probably wasn't anything interesting to hear. That fallacy, and its subsequent revelation to be false is a major inspiration for starting this blog!
Here we find Mountain about four years after Mississippi Queen was released on their debut album. This is a Felix Pappalardi tune.
