As the lead singer of the Animals, Eric
Burdon was one of the British Invasion's
most distinctive vocalists, with a
searingly powerful blues-rock voice.
When the first lineup of the group fell
apart in 1966, Burdon kept the
Animals' name going with various
players for a few years. Usually billed
as Eric Burdon and the Animals, the group
was essentially Burdon's
vehicle, whom he used to purvey a far
more psychedelic and less R&B-oriented
vision. Occasionally he came up with a

psychedelic hit, like "Sky Pilot"; more
often, the music was indulgent, dating
almost immediately. Burdon's real
triumphs as a solo artist came at the
beginning of the '70s, when he hooked up
with a bunch of L.A. journeyman
soul/funksters who became his backing
band, War.   Recording three albums
worth of material in the year or two that
they were together, the Burdon/War
records could ramble on interminably,
and would have benefited from a lot of
editing. But they contained some spacey
funkadelia of real quality, especially
their number three hit single "Spill the
Wine," which was almost recorded as an
afterthought in the midst of sessions
dominated by exploratory jams. The band
was already big stars on record and stage
when Burdon, for reasons unclear to
almost everyone, quit the band in 1971.
War defied expectations and became
even bigger when left to their own
devices; Burdon, after recording an
album with veteran bluesman Jimmy
Witherspoon, cut a series of generally
desultory solo albums. He recorded off
and on after that, at times with the
Animals, but has never come close to
reaching the heights of his work with
the early Animals and War.
