The band – then called Nightshift – was spotted by ex-Animals singer Eric Burdon in 1969 and they became his backing band. Named War as a protest against Vietnam, the seven-piece group backed Burdon for two albums and kept a fiercely political agenda. 'The World Is a Ghetto' - the third album released by the band after Burdon's departure - was Billboard magazine's Album of the Year as the best-selling album of 1973. \n\nwartheband.com", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
