5.0 out of 5 stars St. James Infirmary, October 8, 2001

M. Fantino (San Francisco, California USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Every One of Us (Audio CD)

This is a great album, but, the best thing about it, and what really gets it five stars out of me is the first song on side two, in it's original format, otherwise known as the sixth song, St. James Infirmary.

St. James Infirmary is quite possible the finest original blues song to come out of the British Invasion. It would have some competition from their earlier hit, Maudie, which, is probably even better than St. James infirmary but it is a cover of John Lee Hooker's song to his wife. So, disqualified for being a remake.

St. James Infirmary is a song about devastation, in the vein of Tim Rose's Long Time Man, not just about love gone wrong, but about the lover dying. You gotta hear it.

You just gotta.

5.0 out of 5 stars Guts, July 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Every One of Us (Audio CD)

I am so old that I remember when this recording was first released on vinyl. This recording of St. James Infirmary is the guts of the blues; and it is unforgettable. The entire album pretty well captures the essence of those times. Pretty somber rock and roll.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fan in Livingston, NJ: Good God, I love this CD!, October 5, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Every One of Us (Audio CD)

When this was first released, I was in my junior year of high school. To my fellow classmates it was either: 'House of the Rising Sun" or "We Gotta Get Out of This Place", this was NOT the Animals! Too bad, this is great album.

Gone is the bass of: Chas Chandler, the 'tiny' Vox organ of: Dave Rowberry, etc., and new members: Vic Briggs (bass/guitar/bagpipes,vocals), John Wieder (guitar, violin), Barry Jenkins, Dan McCollough (guitar, bass, vocals), and Victor Bruno (organ, piano), join "fearless leader" Eric Burdon for 'full-fledged' 'psychodelic Animals' re-incarnation that would be a welcome addition to anyone's collection, who can say they remembered the 60's (with or without the 'psychodelics'!)... Just listen to "Uppers-and-Downers", "Immigrant Lad", and a beautiful (yes, beautiful) instrumental ballad: "Serenade to a Sweet Lady". Truly a 'head-turner".

Hey don't take my word for it- turn out the lights, light a candle, light some incense, put on the CD and be transported back to a time when peace was in the air, hair was long, bras were burned, and Eric Burdon and the Animals were at their most interesting and creative!!!!!!!!!!!
