Product description

Eric Burdon, the iconic frontman of The Animals, steps into the spotlight with his solo debut album, "Eric Burdon Declares War." Released on January 1, 1970, this funk rock masterpiece is a testament to Burdon's versatility and his ability to blend genres seamlessly. The album is a vibrant mix of soulful vocals, gritty guitar riffs, and powerful lyrics, all wrapped up in a 42-minute journey that showcases Burdon's unique artistic vision.

The album opens with "The Vision Of Rassan Medley," a captivating blend of tracks that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Burdon's voice is as potent as ever, carrying the listener through a series of musical landscapes that range from the introspective to the downright funky. Tracks like "Tobacco Road" and "Spill The Wine" highlight Burdon's ability to infuse traditional themes with a modern, rock-infused twist.

"Blues For Memphis Slim Medley" is another standout, showcasing Burdon's deep roots in blues music. The medley is a tribute to the legendary Memphis Slim, and Burdon's rendition is both respectful and innovative. The album closes with "You're No Stranger," a poignant track that leaves a lasting impression.

"Eric Burdon Declares War" is not just a collection of songs; it's a declaration of Burdon's artistic independence and his willingness to explore new musical territories. The album's funk rock sound is a departure from his earlier work with The Animals, but it's a departure that pays off. Burdon's voice, backed by a tight band and a rich, layered production, makes this album a standout in his discography.

For fans of Eric Burdon and funk rock enthusiasts alike, "Eric Burdon Declares War" is a must-listen. It's an album that captures a moment in time, a snapshot of a musician at the height of his powers, ready to take on the world.

This LP was released in 1970.

This is fantastic with some noticeable ticks here and there... Really happy with this Quality Records from Toronto. For the cost, it's superb. I know there are some critics about this pressing plant, but this one is alright for its age.

This is a timeless record, beautifully played and captured. It's music that truly represents its era; Burden is bringing that authentic American Black Blues and Soul vibe. Absolutely worth adding to your collection, particularly if you can snag a pristine copy. In my book, this is the finest take on Tobacco Road. Highly recommended! And kudos to the recording engineer for an outstanding job on this LP.
