The far more bluesier version is Eric's "Ring of Fire" off the "Love Is" album with the Animals (with a young Police - Andy Summers). This version is a very creative reworking of Cash's hit. No doubt. But the real Eric shines when he sings blues and that "Love Is," track -- despite little airplay -- is what classic rock is all about. The LP version is strung along into Eric's version of "Coloured Rain." When you hear the entire medley together it's one Eric's masterpieces.
Yea, I know this was recorded two years before Diamondhead became a band! Killer riffing, fits this song perfectly. I will have to check the other tune out, thanks for the tip.
I love this version of this song. I had it on a record while living somewhat homelessly in a spare room with a friend's bird. I was trying to teach it that it was getting sprayed with a bit of water when I played this song for it. He really liked this song too!!
Thanks for the post- I'm certain the Animal did a different AND MUCH BETTER version, without all the vocal adlibs- and the Eric's vocals were just as strong
Thank you so much for this version of Ring of Fire, I am a big fan of both Eric Burdon and Johnny Cash and I just love the way Eric Burdon does this song.
This sound like a sellout version of remake if ive ever heard one...i love eric burdon but this version ruins a classic, stop dickin with amazing originals
this was so good to listen to the LP was kickin ,in the day,I think this is what inspired J Giels

Eric Burdon personifies the 60's. One of my first albums was Eric Burdon & The Animals, along with The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin.

Eric Burdon marries Johnny Cash with Ravel's Bolero and creates with a masterpiece. Perhaps the greatest vocalist in all of rock and roll.

Burdon used that intro also for another part of a song called You Got Me Floating live in Spain 2005. Check it out, best ever!!

That is the intro to Diamond Head's "Am I Evil" most famously covered by Metallica on their debut album.
Interesting....
