Artist: ERIC BURDON & THE ANIMALS
Album: THE TWAIN SHALL ME REMASTERED (CD)

Year: 1968/ 2005
Media type: CD

The Twain Shall Meet is an album released in 1968 by Eric Burdon & The Animals. It includes "Sky Pilot," one of the most famous anti-war songs of the Vietnam War era, including the sound of a plane crashing and a terrific guitar riff by Vic Briggs, and "Monterey," the band's tribute to the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. Reviewer Bruce Elder of Allmusic describes the song, "All Is One," as "unique in the history of pop music as a psychedelic piece, mixing bagpipes, sitar, oboes, horns, flutes, and a fairly idiotic lyric, all within the framework of a piece that picks up its tempo like the dance music from Zorba the Greek while mimicking the Spencer Davis Group's "Gimme Some Lovin'."
