Friday Freak-Out: Eric Burdon and War perform “Tobacco Road” on German television in 1970. Originally a folk tune written by John D. Loudermilk, the song was first made a hit in 1964 by The Nashville Teens. The Jackson 5, Lou Rawls, and many other artists covered it too. In 1970, Eric Burdon and War turned “Tobacco Road” into a 13-minute, three-part epic on their LP “Eric Burdon Declares ‘War’.” “We the People, have declared War against the People, for the right to love each other.” (Thanks, Antinous!)
