You know what? I love War but I haven't really taken the time to get all their albums and explore each one.I only have a few of their CDs...

***'The World Is A Ghetto'(1972)---many people consider this to be their best work

***'Why Can't We Be Friends'(1975)

***'Outlaw'(1982)

***'Peace Sign'(1994)

***an early album recorded with Eric Burton (forgot the title)


In 2004,I'm gonna make it a priority to get all their albums smile

City Country City is a classic, maybe an "underrated" classic? what I like about this song is that it's rather obvious which part is the "country part" & which part is the "city part"..

for me, it's hard to choose between the 2 parts-
they're both done so well, both give a good sense of their respective moods..
I'll see you tonight..
in ALL MY DREAMS..

'War is Coming' from their album 'Platinum Jazz', is a funk classic.

Never heard 'City, Country, City', though.
