Features Disc of the day
Eric Burdon & The Animals
Winds Of Change
(MGM, 1967)
Wor Eric goes gloriously bonkers on original-strength Owsley.
After the original Geordie Animals collapsed in 1966, Tyneside blues boy Eric Burdon formed a new version and embraced psychedelia in a rather big way. Consequently, Winds Of Change is the sound of him sledgehammering his doors of perception into matchwood, whereupon he also puts the windows in, and then causes the drains of perception to back up. How else to explain this completely uninhibited brain spillage on death, hassles with his old lady, how he really digs all kinds of music and why you really want to move to San Francisco right away, played in lumpen-baroque hippy-rock style? Gloriously, and despite the presence of Dylan/Simon & Garfunkel producer Tom Wilson, it seems there was no steady hand on the tiller here - the church bell on the Hammer film knock-off The Black Plague sounds like the bell on an old London bus, for example, while loopy bongoid rap Man-Woman could have been sung by Lorenzo ‘Love Power’ St Dubois off The Producers. But you can’t legislate for this kind of unhinged variety. A triumph.

Nive post! But when oh when will someone get around to re-assessing Eric Burdon & War's 'The Balck Man's Burdon'? Now THERE is a truekly uninhibited album.
