1995 Avenue Records\nOriginally Released February 1971\nRemastered Rhino CD Released August 4, 1992\nRemastered Gold CD Released March 16, 1995\n\n24 Kt Gold Digital 20 Master Series\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: A great War album, the first where all their influences meshed. They blended gospel-tinged soul, funk, Afro-Latin, and light jazz, with enthusiastic group vocals and interplay, plus just the right amount of instrumental support and occasional solos by Lee Oskar on harmonica, Lonnie Jordan on keyboards, and Charles Miller on saxophones and flute. It also contained the fantastic "Slippin' Into Darkness," one of their best-arranged and performed numbers. -- Ron Wynn\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nSummertime classic, March 28, 2002 \nReviewer: nwlover from tacoma, washington \nEric Burton had no idea what would happen when he left war. What happened was that War became The band of the early 70's. All day music was playing in the park all summer that year and the song perfectly describes War. Tight harmonies, great musicians, and lyrics that paint beautiful pictures. Ya had to be there, like I was. However, their music still stands the test of time. That's What Love Will Do, There Must Be A Reason, and Slippin' Into Darkness could of each been singles, as they are all great jamss.\nA fabulous group with a distinctive fusion of soul, rock, blues, funk and jazz. Couldnt ask for anymore from anygroup at anytime.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nWar Music, August 14, 2000 \nReviewer: Thomas Magnum from NJ, USA \nWar came to notoriety as former Animals lead singer Eric Burdon's backup band. After two albums, Burdon no longer employed the band and they struck out on their own. They released their disjointed self-titled debut album that went nowhere on the charts. They appeared ready to drop out of sight, but they released this album and proved that they were more than just a back up band. The album showcased their albility to mix rock, jazz, r&b and latin influences and bounce seemlessly between styles. "Slippin' Into Darkness" is a funky burner while the title song is a laid back breezy pop tune. They could slow it down on "That's What Love Will Do" or rock out on the live "Baby Brother". War was always a great jam band who had the ability to catchy music and this album is a great introduction to that. \n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nYour entry ramp to New World Funk, March 31, 1999 \nReviewer: lee300@hotmail.com from Louisville, Ky \nIt was the end of the Woodstock era and the middle phase of the Black Awareness period in American History. The Urban radio stations were playing the same old rhythms and the time for change had come. My generations had grown tired of the same old Aretha Franklin/James Brown/Otis Redding R & B tracks. We wanted and needed something more substantial. Little did we know what lay ahead. War introduced us to free form funk. This was a new and creative sound that could not be ignored. Pay close attention to Nappy Head and the virtuosity in the guitar front. Listen intently as the band beckons you to come and party with them on ALL Day Music. There were no drive-by shootings, but there was Vietnam. African Americans were beginning to get decent jobs and housing. Doors were beginning to open all across the land in may areas. This fantastic group of musicians sang about the times and places that we had only fantasized about. We were just starting to come alive - SweetBack , Superfly, Shaft were all on the horizon. And War paved the funkified way. \n\nHalf.com Album Notes\nWar: Howard Scott (guitar, percussion, vocals); Charles Miller (flute, alto, tenor & baritone saxophones, percussion, vocals); Lee Oskar (harmonica, percussion, vocals); Lonnie Jordan (organ, piano, percussion, vocals); B.B.
