Finnish Sessions = Digipack = (CD)
After Corky Laing for years with his band Mountain, the American rock legend, whose only living member of the original line-up he is, let live on, he has decided to bring out once again his own record. In keeping with the band and the recording location, the title "Finnish Sessions" was chosen.
With his Scandinavian backing band, the now 74-year-old Laing has succeeded in creating a remarkable album that brings Mountain's style to life in a modern guise. He has taken support from Michael Monroe, who contributes the blues harp in "Totally Wrong" and from Ian Hunter, who contributes the keyboards in "Even More" and "My World".
Laing puts his stamp on the songs with his dynamic style of playing the drums and shows with his slightly smoky voice that he is also a good singer. The Swede Conny Bloom sets accents with strong rocking guitar solos on some songs. He is supported in the guitar work by the Finnish multi-instrumentalist Harry Väyrynen, who provides a full sound as a second guitarist and also plays additional drums and the bass on some tracks, which is played on most songs by John Vihervär, who together with Laing on the drums provides a hard rhythm base.
