(1968)"Winds of Change" is an album released in 1967 by
Eric Burdon & The Animals .The original band,
The Animals , broke up in 1966 and this band was entirely new, except for lead singerEric Burdon and recently-added drummerBarry Jenkins . With the new band, including guitaristVic Briggs and electric violinistJohn Weider , Burdon began to transition from the gritty blues sound of the original mid-1960s group and moved into the pyschedelic era of music.The album opened with the sound of waves washing over the title track, "Winds of Change." "Poem by the Sea" is a spoken word piece by Burdon with a swirl of echo-drenched instruments. "Good Times" and "
San Franciscan Nights ," were two of the most popular tracks, with the latter breaking into the Top 10 in 1967. Burdon was a fan ofJimi Hendrix and wrote the fifth track as ananswer song to Hendrix's "Are You Experienced?" from earlier that year.Track listing
