Amidst the breakup of the (mostly) original lineup of The Animals in late 1965, Eric Burdon began working on his first solo album. It yielded only one single, that being this song, which only reached #29 in the US in early 1966. I remember it well, so maybe it got more play in SoCal, where I was. Eric’s record was a big production, so in that spirit I added a partial octave-down effect on the guitar to make it sound all big.
