About this album

Love Is All Around finds Eric Burdon and War stretching blues-rock into a tougher, funk-driven fusion. Released in 1976, the album draws on Burdon’s raw, grainy vocal presence and War’s elastic rhythm section to give familiar songs a leaner, more rhythmic edge. The title track, along with versions of Tobacco Road, A Day In The Life and Paint It Black, shows how the group could recast well-known material through a late-1970s R&B and funk sensibility. It stands as a strong document of Burdon’s post-Animals years and War’s ability to bridge soul, rock and groove without losing their identity.

Genre: Soul & Funk
