"War War War" is the third album by Country Joe McDonald. The lyrics for the songs on the album were based upon the poetry of Robert William Service (January 16, 1874 – September 11, 1958), who was sometimes referred to as "the Bard of the Yukon".
The album was released in October 1971 by Vanguard Records (VSD 79315), and reissued in February 1995 by One Way Records (OW 30995). Recording took place in Vanguard Studios located in New York City.[1]
Because the album has been out of print for many years, Country Joe McDonald released a live album with the same track listing in 2007 called War War War Live.[2]
