Performer: War
Producer: Jerry Goldstein Distributor: WEA (Distributor) Notes: This collection spans 1970 - 1978. It's not a perfect compilation by any means -- there's no "The World Is a Ghetto" and a bad remix of "Low Rider," for starters -- but it's an important release from this influential band. The original vinyl was definitive.. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
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.
