Condition

Here’s a fascinating piece of mid-60s British Invasion history that often gets overlooked in favor of the original Animals’ catalog. “Eric Is Here” represents Eric Burdon’s bold attempt to establish himself as a solo artist while still technically fronting The Animals, capturing him at a pivotal moment of artistic transition. This 1967 release showcases Burdon’s powerhouse vocals tackling everything from blues standards to contemporary pop, including his take on The Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black” and a surprisingly effective cover of “Help Me Girl.” The album demonstrates his ambition to move beyond the blues-rock foundation that made him famous, incorporating elements of soul and early psychedelia that would soon define his work with War.
