Free Music Review: A Must-Have Album in your Collection

If I were trapped on a deserted island for the rest of my life, and could only have 10 albums with me....This would be one of them!Free Music Review: Burdon's hippie logic gets in the way of War
Hit: 3 Stars
It's quite disturbing that War's sound wasn't showcased more in Eric Burdon (The Animals) & War's 1970 MGM debut. Even though Eric Burdon declares "War" yielded the smash hit Spill The Wine, you're hard pressed to remember anything you've heard on this LP other than bits and pieces of Eric Burdon's endless ramblings. And that's a shame, because what you have here backing up Burdon's ego and face time is a damn good band.
Burdon's hippie rhetoric reaches sweltering highs and catastrophic lows under the guidance of Jerry Goldstein's production. The pompous Tobacco Road would have been much better in single mode. Instead it's presented here in long form (I Have A Dream version), thus making the road seem like a long and exhaustive black top. Roll On Kirk minus the Dedication is another example. The band close out the set with the gem You're No Stranger, which just so happens to be worth the price of admission alone.

Free Music Review: Good Hippie Rock
Hit: 3 Stars
This sounds nothing like the classic funk band War would later become, but on it's own merits, as a sample of early Seventies British R&B-influenced rock it's pretty solid. Features the nicely grooving period classic "Spill the Wine", with those hilarious lines "Spill the wine/dig that girl!" Beginners to the band should look elsewhere, though.Free Music Review: ok cd
Hit: 3 Stars
Very experimental cd. Too different musical styles combined. The only real reason to buy this cd is for "spill the wine".
