Free Music Notes for Eric Burdon Declares War
Free Music Review: Probably the best album ever
Hit: 5 Stars
I first heard the LP from a friend who brought it back from the US just when it came out. I had to tape it asap and waited for several months until it became available in Europe. What a thrill ! Coming all together, the best blues, the best songs (and meaningful for once), the best band, the best singer ! I have many albums for which time has changed my perception, from abslute fan to reasonably enthusiastic, or less. This is (together with the following double album The Black-Man's Burdon) an abolute master piece, never fails to give me intense satisfaction and pleasure.
I also had the privilege to see them on stage in Paris in the early 70s, a 4 hours concert taking place after the "regular" show at the Olympia Theater. The musicians and the audience were so hot (and high) that the band wouldn't leave the stage. The staff cut the amps, and the concert continued for one hour all acoustic. This is also the best concert I have ever seen.
Free Music Review: War declares a classic
Hit: 5 Stars
I recently heard "Tobacco Road" being played at a local record store and could not believe how unbelievably funky and inspiring the tune was. I had heard the all time classic "Spill the Wine" and its definitely was of my favorite War tracks however the other songs on this album make it an all time classic War album that I think many have overlooked. "The Vision of Hassan" is not only educational and thought provoking but has a incredible piano riff that sets the stage for this great organic album obviously recorded on a whim with spontaneous conviction. "Tobacco Road" with its 14+ minutes of congo laden groove is one of the most honest funk songs I've heard and can definitely get a dance party started in the right direction. I would not hesitate to add this steller album to your collection.Free Music Review: Declaring WAR...

I have loved this disc ever since hearing the opening piano part on "The Vision of Rassan". What an opening! There have been very few times where the beginning of a CD commands my attention like this one does. Its interesting to hear War in their early stages and how Eric Burdon influenced their musical approach. Burdon's voice is in top form and his raspy blues tone is in full effect. His influence is apparent on songs like "Blues For Memphis Slim". Of course, "Spill The Wine" is the best known song off this one, but overall this is a great album.Free Music Review: War war.

This is one of my favorite War cds I have collected all of them over the years which was hard to do over here because only the first albums with Eric Burdon really made it. They are such a professional band they have the best rhythm section that I have heard when Eric left they continued as before and added their own style to the music.Free Music Review: A must cd
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great CD. There are terrific songs, Vision of Rasson, spill the wine and tobbaco road are classics songs. Everyone who love music must buy this cd.
