Great interview. I remember Corky from his days with the B+3 in Montreal. He played at a sock hop at my school in NDG. Had the wonderful opportunity to see him and Mountain play in Montreal many times - great memories!
amazing! Thank you folks! He name checks Steve's music store! now on Saint Catherine est. Montreal love. It was an amazing Musickal cabaret/club city to play then the 70s happened. he is one of many greats from here. MOUNTAIN ! rip Leslie. another rock drummer jerry mercer (mashmakhan, roy buchanon, april wine} too!
I recently had the great pleasure of meeting Corky in Nashville. He came by my country estate "DisGraceland" to jam on some of my "Country Songs". The Grooves he played were fabulous! A TOTALLY COOL STUD !!! ...Sunset Slim
I first heard mountain back in 70 ,I think and Mississippi Queen ! Man that cow bell really got my attention . The closest store to sell it was at the Kmart in Altoona, Pa. I had buddy that had a car, that night we drove about 25 miles ,and looked ,and they had 1 damn copy no shit. I bought it. And I was hooked, mountain was my favorite band , it made , the hair on the back of my neck stand up, every time ,I heard it. I bought , climbing as soon as I could find it .played the shit out of it . The record player I had was a POS , ate records ,I had to wait till I was the USMC, in Okinawa to get a real, Top notch stereo , then after I bought another copy of "climbing" did I get to hear the whole sound, and jacked up with good head phones ,some good ti- stick, man , mountain took me climbing! You guys are still my favorite band, sorry Felix isn't around , but JackBruce isn't either.oh times go on hope it's better on the other side. Cause , i guilt listening to the radio years ago , K O R
On top of great professional drumming, Corky was and maybe is that IT factor of confidence, show and entertainment fun. If you happened to see him in the 70s, you would say " Screw the guitar trip, I want to be that guy!"

You guys continue to amaze with your back stage, "at home" interview style. This interview series is a Mountain fans' dream.

GREAT drummer - 'Don't Turn Around' is like keeping the beat with a solo !! ;D
👍🏻 love ya Corky, all that music.
Love Mountain, and West Bruce and Lang. Corky Lang is a great underrated drummer.
Been studying Mountain….these guys were special

Had no idea he was from Montreal. Love this guy.
The Ink Spots were big time for a while.
Corky's recollections sent me straight the "Peppermint Twist" videos to get a look at the drummer from his Montreal neighborhood.
Man this guy must have a real high IQ. Real sharp dude man love listening to him describe stuff. Love to drink a beer with him...
Sharp cookie indeed.
Corky sounds like a real cool person!
He's playin drums in SF Valley Blues Clubs now sometimes.. Still whackin skins... Cool
Always an alleviation to find old heros being sober ---
Fixed that for ya... Corky > carl palmer, everytime.
That's not "dancing" you heard your mother and father doing.
