War, “Low Rider” from "Why Can't We Be Friends?" 1975

#EricBurdon was the front man for #TheAnimals, part of the 1960s #BritishInvasion of U.S. popular music. Sharing a love of the blues with many of their compatriots, after a string of hits and lineup changes and Eric’s move to #SanFrancisco, their music became more #psychedelic.

With the rest of his Animal bandmates still based in the UK, Eric joined with a group of #SouthernCalifornia musicians who had been playing #funk infused music to form #EricBurdonandWar, best known for the wonderfully odd spoken-word hit Spill the Wine. Burdon and the band parted ways, and the band developed more Latin flavor as War.

#LowRider slows and strips funk down to the bare bones - its chassis, if you will. I knew nothing of the #Chicano car culture it celebrates when its spare, metallic percussion, pumping #BassLine, and seductive vocals drew me in.

Not a lowrider, but that #Studebaker Commander was one of my favorites.
