The Animals – Animalisms
Release date:June 1966
Genre: Blues Rock
Eric Burdon's voice is hard and dark, a weapon of plantation sorrow in "Gin House Blues" and kicking-mule joy in John Lee Hooker's "Maudie". "Sweet Little Sixteen," though a relatively minor song here, was their best Chuck Berry cover to date, "Squeeze Her - Tease Her," "I Put a Spell on You," "She'll Return It," all rate among the best work the band ever did, passionate, gorgeous, and exciting R&B down to the last note.
"Animalisms" peaked at # 4 in the UK album chart in June 1966.
