Sun Secrets is an album by the Eric Burdon Band recorded in 1973 and released in December 1974.
It includes some re-recording of songs, with which lead singer Eric Burdon topped the charts a few years before. The band included Aalon Butler on guitar, Randy Rice on bass and Alvin Taylor on drums.
"The Real Me", "Ring of Fire" and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" were released as singles. The album peaked at No. 51 on the Billboard 200 chart in 1975.
They formed in 1971, after Burdon left his previous band War to cut an album with blues/jazz-great Jimmy Witherspoon. They recorded the album Guilty and then, without Witherspoon, the album Stop.
