#AlbumForToday: #War - #TheWorldIsAGhetto (1972)
War’s third LP since the departure of Eric Burdon shows the band deepening its commitment to the funk-soul stew that was its mainstay. “The Cisco Kid” leads the set with an infectious groove and earworm chorus akin to earlier vamps like “Spill the Wine” (on the band’s 1970 debut). It is clear nonetheless that War has by this point shed its dependence on Burdon on this deep soul gem.

The sense and application of this jam, for me, remains ceaselessly powerful.
