Album Notes & Community Reviews

Eric Burdon's second album with War expanded the group's long-form blend of rock, funk, Latin rhythm, and social commentary. 'The Black-Man's Burdon' documents the partnership just before War continued without Burdon and developed into one of the decade's major multiracial funk-rock groups.
