Ozzy Osbourne took on "Mississippi Queen" for Under Cover, his 2005 album, and he brought one of its authors along: Leslie West, the guitarist who worked the song up with drummer Corky Laing for Mountain, sits in as a guest. The rest of the lineup has Jerry Cantrell on guitar, Chris Wyse on bass and Mike Bordin on drums, Steve Dudas arranging, Mark Hudson producing and Bruce Sugar engineering and mixing.
The writing credit still goes to Laing, West, Felix Pappalardi and David Rea, and the song has a good origin story. Laing had some of the words and the drum part before he ever joined Mountain, dating from a gig with his old band Energy when the power failed and he kept drumming for more than an hour to keep the crowd dancing.
