1973: ‘The World Is a Ghetto’ by War
April 4, 2021
The fifth album from War—and the band’s third without Eric Burdon of The Animals— rocketed to success on the back of its lead song, “The Cisco Kid.” Incorporating a variety of influences, the album explores jazz, funk, rock, soul, and blues to brilliant effect. That’s joined by top-notch production and socially relevant themes still poignant today.
