Dee Snider has covered "Theme for an Imaginary Western" for the upcoming star-studded Leslie West tribute album. The tribute album also features such musicians as Slash, Zakk Wylde and more saluting the legendary musician.

Leslie West was the guitarist and co-lead vocalist of the band Mountain. The legendary guitarist passed away in December 2020 at the age of 75. The musician was born in New York City and started his music career with The Vagrants. He then went off to form the band Mountain in 1969 with Vagrants producer Felix Pappalardi. He was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame in 2006.

A ton of Leslie West's friends and peers came together to celebrate the trailblazing musician. The album's star-filled lineup not only has Snider, but Slash, Zakk Wylde, Randy and Tal Bachman, Martin Barre, Joe Lynn Turner, Charlie Starr, Elliot Easton, Robby Krieger, George Lynch, Marty Friedman, Steve Morse, Eddie Ojeda, Dirty Honey's Marc Labelle, Mike Portnoy, Bobby Rondinelli, and Rev Jones also joined in on covers.
