Eric Burdon and the Animals' Bio: Eric Burdon & The Animals was a psychedelic rock band formed after The Animals disbanded in 1966.

In 1967, lead singer Eric Burdon planned to make a solo career, but then he thought about “New Animals”. He took Barry Jenkins (from The Nashville Teens and the last “Animals” line-up, drums), John Weider (later member of Family, violin, guitar), Danny McCulloch (bass) and Vic Briggs alias Antion (from The Echoes and The Steampacket, guitar, piano, vibes) and recorded the single When I Was Young which charted in USA #15 and in Australia #2.

For the gig at the Monterey Pop Festival they were officially named “Eric Burdon & The Animals” and they performed their next single San Franciscan Nights (USA #9, UK #7, Australia #4, Germany #17, Netherlands #6 and Canada #14).

After releasing the first album, Winds of Change, they recorded in 1968 three other albums.

After the second album, The Twain Shall Meet, which featured the hits Monterey and Sky Pilot, Zoot Money (piano, vocals) joined the band for the third album, Every One Of Us, which included the hit single White Houses.

In July 1968, the fourth and last album of the band, Love Is, was recorded. For this album, Vic Briggs and Danny McCulloch were fired and guitarist Andy Summers joined the band. John Weider went on bass.

For this album the songs Ring Of Fire and River Deep Mountain High were recorded and released worldwide in 1969.

After Eric Burdon jammed with Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Miles and Lee Oskar at the Newport Festival, he formed the Latino/Funk/Soul/Gospel band Eric Burdon & War which had international success in 1970 and 1971 before they disbanded and Burdon began a solo career.

Eric Burdon's life has been a musical journey matched by few other performers in rock music history. He has gone from the driving force of the grittiest British Invasion band, to pioneering the San Francisco psychedelic rock scene, to fronting WAR - the biggest funk band of the 1970's, to cutting an LP with an early influence, jazz-blues great Jimmy Witherspoon, to coming full-circle and reuniting his original band, The Animals, for a series of projects and world-wide tours, to forming new groups of Animals? and releasing a series of studio CD's, live CD's, a DVD, and his second autobiography, which was translated in several languages. Also Eric took a part in many movies like the semi-autobiographical film Comeback - which he starred in and performed the entire soundtrack for director Christel Buschmann. … Read more
