Amazon.com essential recording

Established as bona fide hit makers thanks to the success of the albums All Day Music and The World Is a Ghetto, the Los Angeles-based seven-man group War aimed for a hat trick with the 1973 album <I>Deliver the Word</I>. Less mainstream in its approach than its chart-topping predecessors, the seven-cut set boasted just one hit in the form of the groove-flavored "Gypsy Man," a top 10 pop and R&B single in the summer of '73. Exploring Latin rhythms, funk, jazz, and rock, <I>Deliver the Word</I> stretched musical boundaries. "In Your Eyes" was a lengthy opus that came complete with orgasmic sighs, an opportunity for the skillful musicians to stretch out. One of the true standouts was the catchy "Me and Baby Brother," which should have been a much bigger hit for the band. The album's title cut was a brilliant soulful ballad, while "Blisters" was a fine bluesy close for the album which, in spite of its lack of hit singles, became the band's third gold LP in succession. <I>--David Nathan</I>

5 out of 5 stars Deliver the Word..........2007-02-04

War! Another of their classic albums that rates: Five stars! Enough said!

5 out of 5 stars Unforgettable masterpiece.......2006-05-16

My favorite War album, even though it is considered below their two earlier masterworks.

There is no forgetting any of these songs, or the mood they create. This a cohesive piece of music-making that envelopes you and keeps you in its grip.

Unique does not begin to describe the sound War creates. Here are creative artists with a vision that is, by the time of this album, fully realized.

This album is never out of my regular rotation at home or on the road.

Highly recommended.

4 out of 5 stars War's forgotton Word.......2006-04-04

The fourth studio release in the post-Burdon era, 1973's Deliver The Word gives War yet again, another gold record. The bands 3rd in a row. Thus putting to sleep once and for all any argument about why War missed Eric's vocal or face time. War had indeed become a much bigger splash than Spill The Wine.

War's sprawling epic Gypsy Man proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the band, being the veteran hit makers that they became, could compete on both sides of the Billboard charts. Although Deliver The Word (the title could be considered misleading)wasn't as politically charged as their first release, non-the-less parallels the "fingers" lp to some degree.

Deliver The Word for obvious reasons, should considered War's forgotton gem. Why United Artists chose not to market this recording with the same intensity as their next studio release (the commercially successful Why Can't We Be Friends?) is anyones guess. Any real War fan has this one.

5 out of 5 stars War Second best.......2006-03-05

Mixed Rock and Jazz with Soul influence, what a difficult blend, yet War delivers it's second and last tight album.
War hits its peak with the release of 'The world is a ghetto' in 1972, followed by this strong album.
Difficult to hear music as good. Almost impossible to hear anything better. Highly recommended for the Soul Jazz or Rock lovers.

4 out of 5 stars It's not perfect but.............2005-08-20

This is my favorite War album. I instantly liked it when it came out back in the 70's. I just acquired the CD and all those "Driving through the country on a warm sunny day that everything is just working out fine feelings" rush back just like it was yesterday. I still have the album.

Yes, it isn't like the other War albums. And that's OK. War was more than those other albums. The group had a sound that was unique,varied, and popular with social messages that are still true today. My teen age kids like War and this album(Which in itself is rather scary). This album,apparently, doesn't fit well together according to liner notes about it. I disagree. I always thought it flowed rather well. I always found comfort in the flow from "H2O Overture" to "In your Eyes" to "Me and Baby Brother" to "Southern Part of Texas". Sort of like a building wave that ends with just the right peak. Another classic album that transcends eras.
