I had been listening to quite a bit of the band War when I made this pick. Lots of great artists in this band, but only three recorded anything outside of the band. So I split it up. Some of each. Eric Burdon was the lead singer for a year or so and he had some great hits. In fact the two biggest with War are included here. He also was in the Animals and on his own. Some of my favorites on here. Lee Oskar was the first in the band to have a solo album. His one hit off that is on here, plus a few others I really like from the solo stuff he put out. You can hear his harmonica sounds. Lonnie Jordan, vocals and keys, had three solo albums and an appearance on a tribute album. I have tracks from each. He didn't have any "hits" but there are some that should have been. They are good. Either way it's a great companion collection to all of the other stuff War put out. Go to Butterboy's amazing site and listen to their entire discography. If you have only heard the hits, do yourself a favor and listen to the Good Stuff.
