Mountain (Band)

Mountain was an American rock band active in the early 1970s. The classic-era lineup of the group was Leslie West on guitar, Felix Pappalardi on bass, Corky Laing on drums (the original drummer was N. D. Smart), and Steve Knight on piano and organ. West's raw vocals, Laing's flowing drumming, and Pappalardi's heavy but not overly imposing bass lines were the elements of Mountain's distinctive sound. Mountain played at the Woodstock Festival but the band did not appear in the film of the event nor was it included on the first album. The group received a certain measure of critical acclaim but never achieved great commercial success. The title track to their 1971 album Nantucket Sleighride was used as the theme tune to the UK political and current affairs television program Weekend World, which was aired between 1972 and 1986.
