CD Reviews

Truely cool
Brian | Washington DC | 10/06/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Eric Burdon is one of the most underappreciated artists of his time. This CD was put out in 2004 and Eric's voice can still growl and belt out tunes better than guys 1/2 his age. There are some truely cool tunes on this CD. Track 5 - Factory girl is blues tune with Celtic tint - Burdons voice is haunting as it's complemented by the Uillean Pipes and Irish whistle -superb! Track 2 - Motorcycle Girl is the just plain good - and others - Highway 62, Over the Border - all excellent.



Eric Burdon is a storyteller - he's been recounting stories in his music since the 60's and this talent is undiminished. I can listen these songs for hours.



Listening to his stories on this CD makes me wonder just what kind of journey his life has been for him to write such thought provoking and moving tunes.



This CD is a joy to listen to and a trip to take - enjoy."
The Best Burdon disc of the past 20 years

"Much as others have said... interesting variety, solid production. I think his voice is much stronger here than on other releases of the past two decades."
Excellent Comeback

"THis album has steadily gotten 5 star reviews since it came out for a reason. It is a terrific rock album by one of the best rockers ever. Erics' singing is as great as it ever was. He writes great human interest stories in his songs, and the band is fantastic. I have the old Eric Burden albums. Great stuff, but always had some duds on em. This album is super all the way thru. If you like Eric at all, this is a must buy, as it is definately one of the best albums he ever made. You get hard rockers, ballads, and some blues& boogie. Great variation and a well thought out comeback. His songwriting is better than ever."
