West, Bruce and Laing were a 1970s power trio consisting of Leslie West (guitar and vocals), Corky Laing (drums) and Jack Bruce (bass and vocals).

The trio formed following the breakup of Mountain, in which both West and Laing had featured. They toured extensively and released three albums: Two studio albums of original material Why Dontcha (1972) and Whatever Turns You On (1973), and the live album Live 'n' Kickin' (1974) which featured among other covers a powerful version of the Cream classic Politician. They disbanded shortly before the release of Live 'n' Kickin'.
