Originally, the album was intended to be a retrospective celebration of West’s music on which the guitarist himself would perform some of his best-loved cuts with notable guests, along with a collection of new tracks. Two weeks before recording was set to commence, however, the guitarist passed away. While grieving the loss of her husband, Jenni was comforted by the constant stream of phone calls from famous musicians who expressed their condolences, and without fail, each one said the same thing: “If you do any kind of tribute to Leslie, please let me know.” An astonishing array of West’s admirers – who also happened to be friends and peers – came together to celebrate the trailblazing musician on the aptly titled ‘Legacy: A Tribute to Leslie West’. Executive produced by Jenni West, Bob Ringe and John Lappen, the album features dizzying, heartfelt performances by Slash, Zakk Wylde, Dee Snider, Bachman & Bachman, Martin Barre, Joe Lynn Turner, Charlie Starr, Elliot Easton, Robbie Krieger, Mike Portnoy, Eddie Ojeda, George Lynch, Marty Friedman, Steve Morse and Yngwie Malmsteen, among others. Each track on its own is a corker but taken together the 12 cuts on ‘Legacy: A Tribute to Leslie West’ are a stunning and heartfelt testament to the true impact the guitarist had on musicians of all stripes, and as such, it’s essential listening for both longtime fans and newbies. 1.
