Free Music Notes for Best of the AnimalsFree Music Review: English blues-rock with a toush of soul Hit: 5 StarsNothing sophisticated about the lyrics to "House of the Rising Sun," but the message is clear, youth needs guidance on the road to wisdom. And the electric guitars strains combine with the organ grooves to create an instantly recognizable audio squawl. And then there's the hits, plenty enough to make this collection worthy of any library.
Free Music Review: Best of the Animals Hit: 5 StarsTwo songs stand out for all Vietnam Veterans, "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" and "House of the Rising Sun". In two reunions of the Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association, I had the pleasure of hearing the voices of 1000 veterans and family rattleing the rafters of the ballrooms in Orlando and Nashville Renaissance hotels singing these songs. At the Orlando Hotel there was a piano bar where a young lady sang requests. One of the pilots ask her to do "We Gotta Get Out of This Place". She didn't know it but was advised by theold warrior to learn it if she really wanted to earn some tips. The next night and for the rest of the reunion, the young singer sang it three out of every five songs and her tip glass was exchanged for a beer mug and remained full. This album brings back memories both glad and sad. Eric attended the reunion in Fort Worth but sadly I was unable to make that one.
Free Music Review: The Animals were a class act! Hit: 5 StarsBack in 1967, I owned this album and I had a record player that the turntable folded into. I listened to this album so much that the album stayed on the turntable. Imagine my horror when I came home one afternoon and my Mother had shut my album up inside my record player. My attempts to get it out resulted in my album breaking in half! I loved that album so much I have been scarred for life. I still remember that incident as albums and finances were hard to come by in the old days. I have great affection for the Animals and the great music they put out in my childhood. This is a must album for any British Invasion fanatic like myself.
Free Music Review: Good music the way music was meant to be. Hit: 5 StarsThis is good music. Anyone who has any taste in music will appreciate the Animals and their fine album.
Free Music Review: One of the classics of the 60s Hit: 5 StarsI bought this album for my girlfriend in 1968. We used to listen to it and identify with the songs boom boom and bring it on home to me. Those were the best times of my life. She was killed in an auto accident in 1973. My life went on but I still dream about her and I and those early years together. Funny how music can be part of your history.
