War Artist Snapshot:

First as a backing band for Eric Burdon, and then on its own, multi-cultural band War played true "world music" years before the term was coined. The group pioneered a blend of soul, R&B, funk, Latin, jazz and African music, and even managed to have several hit singles along the way. Harmonica player Lee Oskar recorded several notable solo albums as well.

Review

Mojo (Publisher) (12/00, p.51) - "...Burdon recruited Danish harmonica ace Lee Oskar and Long Beach band Niteshift, and renamed them War. Many of their songs were jams or extended workouts, but with War that was hardly a drawback..."

Title Note

Eric Burdon & War: Eric Burdon (vocals); Howard Scott (vocals, guitar); Bee Bee Dickerson (vocals, bass); Charles Miller (flute, tenor saxophone); Lee Oskar (harmonica); Lonnie Jordan (piano, organ); Harold Brown (drums); Dee Allen (conga, percussion).

Originally released on MGM (4663) in April, 1970. Includes liner notes by Barry Alfonso.

After great success with the blues-rock group the Animals, Burdon changed the direction of the band, scoring psychedelic hits like "Monterey" and "San Franciscan Nights." Later, having lost interest in flower-power rock, he cast about for other options. In Los Angeles in 1969, he met harmonica player Lee Oskar and the club band Nightshift, and combined forces with them to create War, a multi-ethnic band that was a true departure from his work with the Animals.

ERIC BURDON DECLARES WAR hit the Billboard chart in May 1970, staying there for 27 weeks and peaking at #18. The song "Spill The Wine" was a top-10 hit.

3 out of 5 stars I Declare WAR, April 10, 2008
By Bill
I bought this based on the cover and a few other tracks that I heard from Eric Burdon. The music is filled with strong arrangements and laiden blues rock riffs that leave you wanting more. Unfortunately there is a shortage of songs. They should have made this a longer.
