ERIC BURDON AND THE ANIMALS...The Twain Shall Meet (1968)
The Twain Shall Meet was released 45 years ago in April 1968. It reached number 79 on the U.S. Billboard album charts. It was produced by Tom Wilson. If you want to relive the 60's for around 45 minutes this is the record to do it with. Sitars, war anthems, sound effects and the psychedelic San Francisco based sounds...the record sends you on a groovy trip for sure, and you need no drugs to do it. I had never heard the album before except for the single "Monterrey" and I was pleasantly surprised. The final track "All Is One" was the highlight for me, as it seemed to roll the Beatles, the Doors and the Stones all into one track. It was actually a magnificent track for me. I'm going to give this album a 3 out of 5 stars, it was that "trippy."
