LIVE ’N’ KICKIN’
Live ’n’ Kickin’ is a live album by the power trio West, Bruce and Laing, released in 1974. It was the band’s final album, as their disbanding was announced shortly before its release. The album is noteworthy in that three of its four songs were not released in studio versions by the band. Live ’n’ Kickin’ peaked at #165 on the Billboard U.S. album chart. (More from Wikipedia)
Jack Bruce has rarely performed with a band since Cream; but after Mountain broke up in 1969 when Felix Pappalardi left the group, he hooked up with two of the members of the group, Leslie West and Corky Laing and formed a power trio called West, Bruce and Laing. The group released two studio albums, Why Dontcha and Whatever Turns You On; no hits emerged from the albums, and by the time their live album, Live ’n’ Kickin’ came out in 1974, the group had already broken up.
