Low Rider Song

“Low Rider” is a song written and published by the band War and first appeared on their record album "Why Can’t We Be Friends?", which was released in 1975. It achieved #1 on the Billboard R&B charts, but peaked at #7 on the Pop Singles chart.

The All Music Guide gave War's Low Rider song a great review and included the following, “the Low Rider song takes the cool picture of the low rider - the Chicano culture practice of hydraulically hot-rodding classic cars - and by using innuendos, extends the image to a lifestyle”. Low Rider's most distinguishable characteristic is its driving bass line, which exist for almost the entire song. It also ends with a siren like noise that then becomes a saxophone solo.
