See Eric Burdon with The LOON at Medina Entertainment Center for Free [VIDEO]

Rolling Stone's readers pegged him as one of the 100 greatest voices in rock-n-roll, and we'd have to agree. Eric Burdon, the growling, British front-man of The Animals and War has been belting out classics since 1962. His soaring vocals begged us to follow him in 'We Gotta Get Outta This Place', lamented the life of a military chaplain in 'Sky Pilot' and hailed the other young gods of music born of love they performed with at 'Monterey'.

Burdon has failed to sit on his laurels in the last half-century, putting out 50 albums in that time, including collaborations with War. Now, poised to release his most recent effort 'Til Your River Runs Dry' on January 29th, Burdon has embarked on another tour. He is in fine form as evidenced by his recent performance with Bruce Springsteen at SXSW (video below), where Springsteen confessed "I stole every song he every wrote" from Eric Burdon.
