Performer: War
Distributor: WEA (Distributor) Notes: Issued by the Rhino label in 2008, this formidable box set presents eight classic albums by the eclectic funk ensemble War. Although the Californian group got its start as the backing band of former Animals frontman Eric Burdon, this collection rightly begins with War's liberated 1971 self-titled debut, an outing that laid down the template for successful later albums such as THE WORLD IS A GHETTO and WHY CAN'T WE BE FRIENDS? Among the many beloved tunes included on these vintage outings are the slinky, melancholy "Slippin' Into Darkness" and the irresistible automotive anthem "Low Rider," tracks that helped to ensure War's place in rock history.
First as a backing band for Eric Burdon, and then on its own, multi-cultural band War played true "world music" years before the term was coined. The group pioneered a blend of soul, R&B, funk, Latin, jazz and African music, and even managed to have several hit singles along the way. Harmonica player Lee Oskar recorded several notable solo albums as well.
