(Eric Burdon): No, there are two. (Zoot Money): There's only my side. (Eric Burdon): There is my side, too. (Zoot Money): But if there are more than two of us, then there are three sides.

(Gemini) Well, I'm a Gemini (Gemini) Well, I'm a Gemini (Gemini) Well, I'm a Gemini (Gemini) Well, I'm a Gemini (Gemini) (Burdon) Two face You ask me how I've become mad now There was a day, I had so much say What of my feet? Life seemed to be sweet I was admired But I was so tired Go through the dam Lion and lamb Know what you're sayin'? Know what you're sayin'?!!!?! Things went okay, And then one day, "Pow!" I can expound With the new words found If reasons gone, How do I live on? Because I know Which way I must go Where can I go, Now that I know Time has gone by? Time has gone by Isn't that the madman, Running through the fields? Isn't that the madman? Wonder how he feels... You look at me, What do you see now? Is it so bad, Or am I just sad? Are you in doubt? There is a way out I've seen the crack I cannot come back I'm not afraid Sticks out a way Into the tide Be by my side Isn't that the madman, Running through the fields? Isn't that the madman? Wonder how he feels... You ask me how I've become mad now (fade out)
Первая песня "Soul of a Man" сразу в стиле госпел (с влиянием Blind Boys of Alabama). Интересен набор музыкантов на этом альбоме: Иван Невилл подпевает и играет на клавинете и клавишах (это племянник легендарного Арта Невилла и сын не менее легендарного Аарона Невилла), прекрасный Регги МакБрайд играет на басу, кудесник Ленни Кастро на перкуссии, Джон Клиари – пианино, Род Пиацца – гармошка, Карл Карлтон – гитары, Джонни Ли Шелл – гитары/вокал, Хатч Хатчинсон – бас, Тони Бронагел – ударные/продюсер.
Вторая вещь "Kingsize Jones" на альбоме в духе жесткого фанка. "Red Cross Store" – отличный блюз Фреда Макдауэлла в мощной обработке. "Como Se Llama Mama" – офигенный латин-фанк с подпевками и тремоло-гитарой. "40 Days & 40 Nights" – классика блюза, Род Пиацца на гармошке. "Feeling Blue" – олд-скул фанки-соул-рок. "Never Give Up Blues" – яркий кантри-блюз в электро-акустической обработке. "GTO" – грустный и красивый южный соул-блюз. "44" – классический блюз Хаулина Вулфа в довольно шумной обработке (к сожалению). "Slow Moving Train" – южный кантри-соул со стил-гитарой. "Don't Ever Let Nobody Drag Your Spirit Down" – очень душевный госпел-блюз Эрика Бибба с слайд-добро-гитарой. "Devil Run" – и снова мощный фанки-соул-рок с клавинетом и подпевками. "I Don't Mind" – эдакий микс новоорлеанского блюза в миноре и песни Хендрикса "Little Wing". "Circuit Rider" – еще один блюз с гармошкой Рода.
Что-то подобное, на таком уровне, Эрик делал в далеком 1970 году с группой War (не считая диск 2004 года).
