Animal Photos Biography

Over the next two years the Animals had seven further substantial hits on both sides of the Atlantic. Their memorable and dramatic version of a song popularized by Nina Simone, ‘Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood’, featured the autobiographical ‘Club A-Go-Go’ on the b-side. Their choice of material was exemplary and many of their hits featured thought-provoking lyrics, from the angst-ridden ‘I’m Crying’ to the frustration and urban despair of Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann’s ‘We Gotta Get Out Of This Place’. Their albums contained stirring renditions of classics by Chuck Berry, Sam Cooke, Jimmy Reed and Burdon’s hero, Ray Charles. During this time Price departed (allegedly suffering from a fear of flying), and was replaced by Dave Rowberry (b. David Eric Rowberry, 4 July 1940, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England, d. 6 June 2003) from the Mike Cotton Sound. Burdon maintains that Price’s departure was because he had taken ownership of the lucrative publishing rights to ‘The House Of The Rising Sun’ and was therefore financially secure. Steel left in 1966, replaced by Nashville Teens drummer Barry Jenkins (b. 22 December 1944, Leicester, England). The new band found success with the brilliant ‘It’s My Life’ and the adventurous ‘Inside Looking Out’.

By 1967 Burdon and Valentine had become totally immersed in psychedelia, both musically and chemically. This alienated them from the rest of the band (who preferred good old-fashioned alcohol), and led to its disintegration. Chandler went on to discover and manage the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Burdon, however, retained the name and immediately re-emerged as Eric Burdon And The New Animals. They found greater favour in the USA where they were domiciled, and courted the west coast sound and school of bands from that period. ‘San Franciscan Nights’ perfectly echoed the moment, with the lyrics: ‘Strobe lights beam creates dreams, walls move, minds do too, on a warm San Franciscan night’. Burdon further encapsulated his reverence in the song ‘Monterey’, cleverly eulogizing the epic Monterey Pop Festival of 1967. A number of interesting musicians passed through various line-ups of the New Animals, notably John Weider, Vic Briggs (formerly of Steam Packet), Danny McCulloch, Zoot Money and future Police guitarist Andy Summers.
