Eric Burdon & the Animals were a quintessential English rock band that emerged in the 1960s, known for their powerful blend of rock, blues, and psychedelia. Fronted by the charismatic and soulful vocalist Eric Burdon, the band initially gained prominence under the moniker The Animals, with hits like "House of the Rising Sun" and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood." However, in the late 1960s, Burdon took their sound in a more experimental direction, and the group became known as Eric Burdon & the Animals.

This new incarnation saw the release of albums such as "Winds Of Change," "The Twain Shall Meet," and "Every One Of Us," showcasing a rich tapestry of socially conscious lyrics and innovative musical arrangements. Their live performances were electrifying, as captured in the album "Live in Concert." The band's influence is still felt today, with their expanded editions of classic albums like "Love Is" and "The Twain Shall Meet" continuing to attract new fans. Eric Burdon & the Animals remain a significant chapter in rock music history, celebrated for their eclectic style and enduring hits.
