About
Eric Burdon & War was a collaborative project between The Animals' frontman Eric Burdon and the funk-soul band War. Their 1972 album Eric Burdon Declares "War" merged Burdon's rock sensibilities with War's Latin-influenced funk and soul grooves. The partnership represented a significant artistic shift for Burdon, exploring a more rhythmically complex and genre-blending approach. Though brief, the collaboration yielded commercially successful material that bridged rock and funk audiences during the early 1970s.
