Amazing guitar player dead at 79. Search out his "Stratosphere Boogie" CD with Jimmy Bryant for some quick gunslinger-style action.

Me either. I'm really surprised to know he just died. . .and that I had no idea he was still around.

Love speedy west & jimmy bryant records.

I too thought he'd long-ago gone up to pedal steel heaven -- great player, though.

Listening to Stratosphere Boogie tonight. What the hell was my problem in not listening to this until now? This is AMAZING

Yep, I borrowed this from my dad in 2006, and it's pretty incredible stuff.
