review by custower:
Here
we're offered a clean and more polished Burdon backed up by some of the
greatest musicians of the day. The Black-Man's Burdon didn't produce
any hits, but it did showcase the raw power of War
itself. Although Burdon's rhetoric is held somewhat in check here, it
still manages to get in the way of the band at times on this 1970 MGM
release. Eric Burdon & War's second
offering (a double LP) would also be their last together. Burdon would
never sound this poignant in his career again, and Spill The Wine (from
Burdon declares "War") would be remembered as the only relevant material Burdon performed in the post-Animals era.
