  • I would literally kill a man to get tickets to this show, but, alas, it isn't worth entering as I'm in Australia.
    But "The Black-Man's Burdon" is one of mu all-time favourites and one of the greatest forgotten 'out-there' albums of all time. Burdon's bizarre narration on 'Paint It, Black', the sax solo on 'Spirit', the La Grange style boogie of 'Bareback Ride'... It's allllll good. They even manage to make 'Nights In White Satin' sound sexy.
    About time for a Mojo feature on the partnership or 'How To Buy Eric Burdon' feature wouldn't you say?
