You'll probably recognise a few and surprise yourself. Download our mobile app now. is their most celebrated release due to the now classic status of "Mississippi Queen", their second album, Nantucket Sleighride, is just as strong and is an underrated classic. is a strong track that would have fit in perfectly on Climbing! But the whole song IS a metaphorical tale about drug abuse, especially the poignantly great line "And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet." Superb melodic hard rock which still sounds great to this day. Well, this album rocks as much now, as it did when it was first released, and sonically, sounds considerably (no surprise) better now, i.e., on cd, remixed, with all the advantages of today's superior production technology, and has a 'bonus' live track added as well, to conclude the disc. General Comment@Massapequa and Simple guy - I know this is a very old thread, I came here to look up the lyrics because I just saw Corky Laing play last night. They can rock & roll with the best of them. This played excellent and great sound.

Flowers Of Evil / Mountain Live (The Road Goes On Forever). My favourite track is Travellin' in the Dark but really, the entire album is just about as awesome as any from this era - it just goes to show how great music was back in the 60's/70's and the paucity of music now. Mountain took their inspiration from Cream, but they turned it into some of the finest Guitar driven Hard Rock ever put on record. referencing Nantucket Sleighride, LP, Album, Mon, 5500 I think that Mountain is usually heavily associated with southern rock because of Mississippi Queen, but this album is psych all the way. Mountain was a formidable rock band in their day, yet somewhat underrated; They were one of the '69 Woodstock headliners, and their music certainly is timeless, and will remain so! While many may believe that Mountain were just a one hit wonder with "Mississippi Queen", Nantucket Sleighride proves that statement false and is a heck of an album. It is a stone Classic of 1970s Heavy Metal and a Guitarists dream. Buy and you'll not regret. This shopping feature will continue to load items when the Enter key is pressed.
