The band War formed in 1969, in Long Beach, California. โ€œLow Riderโ€ is from their 1975 album Why Canโ€™t We Be Friends? The song was a hit as soon as it came out. It went to #1 on the Billboard R&B charts, and itโ€™s just had tremendous lasting power ever since. Besides being in the movie Dazed and Confused, where I heard it, itโ€™s been sampled by the Beastie Boys, it was covered by Korn, and it was the theme song for all six seasons of The George Lopez Show.

For this episode, I talked to Warโ€™s bandleader Lonnie Jordan, and their producer Jerry Goldstein. The two of them told me how โ€œLow Riderโ€ was made in the studio, through a combination of improvisation and meticulous editing.
