Very High Frequencies Episode 164: Eric Burdon & The Animals

VHF-164: Eric Burton & The Animals explores the transition from an English R&B covers band to a US based psychedelic rock group. Perhaps too prolific for the average fan, in 1968 Eric released three albums including a double album. Your host, Not Dead Yet Mike has found many sonic gems among the deep tracks. Forgoing the huge hit for another show, let's get swept up with the Summer Of Love when peace and harmony seemed to be in our grasp. We cover songs from '65-'68 including a few tunes featuring a young guitarist named Andy Summers that went on to make it big with The Police. Nobody sings like Eric Burdon, who's still rocking at 82 years old. He has been a member of Ringo Starr 's All-star Band recently. Check out why The Animals are one of the most popular of the British Invasion groups. Shout outs from Eric to Jimi and his majesty, Prince Jones.
