All Day Music, by the multi-racial, multi-cultural, and R&B funk/pop ensemble War, is now available on MP3 format from Amazon this month for only $5.00.

All Day Music marks the second release by War after ex-Animals lead singer Eric Burdon had left the group in early 1971 (the band originally started out with Burdon and they had charted a hit with “Spill the Wine”). While they had the Burdon influence paint still on their sleeves when All Day Music was released, the band was slowly coming into its own, and by the mid 1970s, they became as revered and as popular as musical cohorts Earth, Wind and Fire and early Santana. War falls somewhere in between those two bands, and sport the kind of funkiness and urgent soulful ballads like their musical brethren.

All Day Music is like a big ray of warm sunshine, especially the title track, which sonically drips a kind of idyllic atmosphere of hedonism and laziness, in its music and lyrics. The band also flirts with some political stance as well, with the metaphoric hit “Slippin’ Into Darkness”; revisit the quasi-funk/Latin feel they employed on “Spill the Wine” with “Nappy Head”; they speak of religion in “There Must Be A Reason”; and close out the record with the live, raucous “Baby Brother,” all done to taut musicianship, which gets the ears listening and the feet a’groovin at the same time. All Day Music is a welcome addition to any R&B collection.
