psychedelic ANIMALS band member Danny McCulloch, who was one of the major song writers along with Eric Burdon in the NEW Animals band who recorded albums "Winds Of Change", "The Twain Shall Meet" etc.

Danny McCulloch was best known for having been the bassist of the late 1960s revamped 'NEW' ANIMALS ...the psychedelic rock group vision by Eric Burdon, leader of The Animals. Danny started his career as a member of Screaming Lord Sutch's band and in 1967 joined Eric Burdon and the Animals. In late 1966, after the breakup of the original incarnation of The Animals, McCulloch joined in for being the first "New Animal" of frontman Eric Burdon's new formation. Together, they released a series of great albums and hit singles, the latter including "San Franciscan Nights", "Monterey" and "Sky Pilot". Band members guitarist Vic Briggs and McCulloch were fired from the band in 1968. Danny McCulloch and Vic Briggs then started a duo career.

In 1969 they released the album, Danny McCulloch "Wings of a Man" produced by Briggs, for Capitol Records in U.S. Like late 1960s albums, this one featured a weird mixture of English and American influences. Tracks like the remake of "Orange and Red Beams", (from the Animals Lp "The Twain Shall Meet"), as well as "Glistening Windows", "Close of Life" and the pretty ballad "Mirror of the Sky" sported a psychedelic feel, complete with phasing and other studio effects.

Anyone who liked the mid-1960s Animals (talking their 'San Francisco Nights' era psychedelic catalog), McCulloch penned nine of the ten tracks (the one exception 'No Face, No Name, No Number' was a Traffic song from their "Mr Fantasy'" album), and the collection had a distinctive pop/psych flavor that recalled the post-R&B era Animals. Vocally McCulloch actually sounded a little bit like Eric Burdon. His performances were certainly rugged, but he was ultimately a more accomplished singer that Burdon (which may explain why he got fired from The Animals).
