Worried Life Blues - The Animals

[xxfive0gtxx]

God I love organs and The Animals, this is music, not the shit my generation has to deal with, and im only 24

[crazypainter56]

And this was played on a organ with wooden keys----!!!

[spooke6]

Good music , .. (^_,^)

[crazypainter56]

Alan gets such a tingling --stuttering sound out of his Vox Continental--Effortlessly--Ver­y Bluesy --he knows where to put in fills behind Eric's voice---HE was the only Organ player for the Animals--Dave Rowberry was great--- But Alan was better----

[soux30p]

got to listen to this through the headphones with a glass of jack ..love it

[crazypainter56]

@soux30p - a little weed wouldn't hurt neither --LOL

[soux30p]

@crazypainter56 Im with you lol

[9mej]

hiltons guitar solo erics voice alans organ playing the fantastic back beat of the drums you could make a lovley cocktail out of this and drink it on a nice day

[NADYAKOST]

Thank you!

[infoanalysis]

Eric Burdon is the best white soul/blue singer other than Amy Winehouse. You can really hear the Newcastle hard life in his voice. Eric Clapton can't hold a candle, guitar and all

[Yardbird68]

I also like the Blues Magoos version....but Eric.....Gawd what a voice!!!!!!!

[RonyMexico]

burdon was probably the most underappreciated singer of his era, in my opinion

[VirtualGamer42]

The organ is killing me, in the best way possible.

[judsons]

Probably the best blues song recorded by the Animals. Burdon, Valentine, and Price set a mood that stands up to any Chess recording.

[giorgioscalia]

I really love that intro! *.*

Does anybody knows where I can find the sheet music or a midi please?

[MateusGTI]

@giorgioscalia psyco intro maannn!

[luisamac77]

uffffffff

[ladidah9]

Alan's vox solo actually glows when put in contact with Eric's vocals.

It's a simple scientific principle.

[MatthewJetRumble]

the first time i heard this, i was overwhelmed by the intro, and i've found with most notable blues songs that i've heard, it's the first few notes of the into that draws me in further. like Led Zeppelin's Since I've Been Loving You, and BB King's Don't Answer The Door.

dunno what it is about these, they're just perfect on the ears !

[9mej]

i love this track it melts in the middle with alans solo i like it because it then brings the track back in to a good tempo

[steicy133]

that song is so awsome especially hilton's guitar solo.

[violentwilliam]

wow... what a steaming pile of dog shit..... fred mcdowell's original is much better.....even clutch is much better.... i guess the animals' main crime is not ripping off the right black american music like other brit groups (led zep) and making a ton of money off it ...

[LuigiLee1961]

The interplay between Price's vox (organ sounds too rude)!, Hilton's guitar and of course Brudon's vocals is truly awesome. I could play this song over all day.

[LuigiLee1961]

One of the best British blues covers ever -along with "Confessin the Blues" by the Stones.

[spurnthemuse]

@luigi: The surname "Burdon" is most likely Norman, not British. I heard a rumor that he is a jew, which, if true, would also make him not British. British, English, Norman, Jew, and Dane are all not the same. However, genetic studies show that most, of the non-British bloodlines, have departed, or wandered away, and mostly, I think, like 80%, of the remainin genetics are British, in England. SPURN THE MUSE!!

[spurnthemuse]

@luigi: I just checked the surname "Price" and it is Welsh, i.e. "British", so there is some basis, for callin the band "British". The surname "Valentine" is also probably of Norman origin, and so the vote against usin "British" as a descriptive, is, so far 2 to 1. Never use a racial term to define a place, because races relocate. For instance a true "Italian" is a red-headed, pale, freckled person. "Italian-speakin" would describe Sicilians, but it would be a lie to call them "Italians".

[psychedelicbluesdiva]

@spurnthemuse Dude they are from Newcastle, that's pretty much british.

[SuperLadypamela]

@spurnthemuse Burdon isn't jew, his father is english and his mother is irish,scotish and english;;;; not jew... he is just british.

[SuperLadypamela]

@SuperLadypamela i meant his father WAS and his mother WAS

Sorry...

[unrealvariety]

Why is everything  about race?

[AngelsMarquiise]

@unrealvariety

because bluesmen are generally better when they are black , and as Eric was so good at singing blues so people talk about his "black" voice, but they are not "racist comments"..it's like a flattery take it easy

[JNagarya]

@spurnthemuse In addition to which there are only three races -- and British (and Irish, and Italian, and Jewish, etc., are of one of those three).

[jacqui4elvis]

truely fantastic, amazing vocal and and backing. Eric if you ever read this, would love to meet you, you are truely inspiring

[etowmom]

I don't think Eric will read this. But Good try!

[crazypainter56]

Iam an organ player-have a Vox SuperContinental---Alan gets such great sounds out of his British Vox Continental and AC 30 --Stuttering of the notes --Sends chills up my back --Too bad he doesn't want to play organ any more -just piano--Great stuff-Hilton playing his Gretsch Guitar-----Love it---Charlie

[Emerica3308]

key of A?

[milnzi81]

shit hot! organ playing (vox) especially, Alan Price one of the most influencial but under-rated organists ever!!!

[grumpywine]

The 60's - the blues, - the passion of a young guy (me in 1965) just experiencing this great music through the lens of of an intensely roots based British Band. What an awakening ! Thank you Eric B, and Co. Thanks also to the fathers of this great music....John Lee Hooker , Ray Charles, Lightning Hopkins, Big Bill Broonzy, Muddy Waters.

et al.....too many to name . Many thanks.

[MollyDollyMadGurl]

they really do rock!

XD

[AnimalsFanForever]

Hilton's guitar playing is so beautiful in this song! It should be UP in the mix!!

[Roffe6969]

I can only humble say: Thank You, Eric and the Group.

[Nature89]

Great songs like this always ease my mind.

[asorls1]

The organ is so amazing in this song. It is hard to beleive it was a vox organ.

[thenifeelnothing]

someday baby, i aint't gonna worry my life no more.......

[greendome6]

as a teen in the 60s, this song introduced me to the blues...god, what a great cover of a great song!

[VirgileDF]

What a song! It brings me away, far from the road, close to the dirty.

[cheyennebritbrat]

eric makes me flip my lid

[SadStatue0ofLiberty]

@cheyennebritbrat hahaha! what is flip my lid? 

[cheyennebritbrat]

@SadStatue0ofLiberty ,,you know,,,,blow my gasket

[kingtwenty20]

i love the keyboards.... this sounds was the best... makes ur heart pump that blood faster....know what i mean..?? i love this shit right there

[tangoafterdark]

The best recording of this standard... ever.

[fal1enangel]

marvelous

[doobiesz]

this song is amazingly well constructed.

one of my favorite versions to this song

[doobiesz]

amazing

[crpdst2003]

rediscovery of Animals last few weeks... deeper than I believed was only 14 when they came on the scene.... no recordings back than and too poor ever for 45 player... so was 17 before we had 4 track than 8 track car stereos... so Early stuff outside those played on radio was missed... Much stronger than Stones in their Blues roots...

finding Animals and Kinks are as first rate creators and performers as any of those early invaders....

[ggrryy]

10 stars!

[ladyfromkansas]

H O T!!

[klae11]

...a white boy who can really sing the blues...

[stOOpid68]

smokin cheap cigarettes with the street light pourin thru the blinds makin stripey smoke patterns...

ahh, the trials and tribulations of an angst ridden teenage Mod in Liverpool back in the day...

killer song.

anyone got "for miss caulker"???

[snusmumriken3]

Awesome performance of Alan Price and Hilton Valentine on this one!!!

[Osterreich3]

Their early material was REALLY well-performed! (blues)

[magusmagic]

Oh Lord, Lordy Lord this is just so good. Everything about it! Viva The Animals

[snusmumriken4]

One of the best (if not the best!) song of "The Animals on Tour" LP!!!

Thanks,lorjim!
