Eric Burdon Soul Of A Man Rarpd

It can't be considered a comeback because he's never really been away and 2004's -- recorded with the same basic band and producer -- already proved there was plenty of gas left in 's seemingly bottomless tank. But finds the ex- lead singer in fine, even feisty form. Credit should be shared by producer/drummer and a backing band of veterans, led by guitarist and organist, who find the perfect tone to support 's growling vocals. Instead of originals, the singer sticks predominantly to covers, a smart move since his own songs have been at best a mixed bag. But aside from a handful of blues classics such as 's '44 Blues,' '40 Days' (best known through version), 's 'Red Cross Store' and 's title track, these are predominantly obscure tunes that tears into with a gruff fury belying his age (he was 65 at the time of this recording).

He's still proudly strutting about the size of his genitals on 'Kingsize Jones' and can even meet classic on its old turf in 'Devil Run.' Without a deft production touch these songs could be embarrassing, but keeps the band simmering and 's worst impulses in check. Female backing vocals, horns and percussion fall in line with this funky gospel-laced blues-rock, nailing the ideal tone between a surprising subtlety and 's more typically crusty approach.

He will continue to sing 'House of the Rising Sun' nightly, but with albums as strong as this, is far from washed up and has plenty to be proud of. Aging fans who might have abandoned him due to years of spotty releases will be shocked at how solid this is. Those who are just catching up will find to be a dynamic new release from an old warhorse who should not be put out to pasture just yet.
