The group was a trio composed of Leslie West on guitar, Felix Pappalardi on bass, and Corky Laing on drums. 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 Woodstock but the band didn't 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 acheived great commercial success.
