 LOW   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Throughout that evolution, Low never made what could be called, even by the loosest standards, a Rock Record.
But it is without a doubt Low's most brisk album yet, and shifts moods so effortlessly and so often that it could throw longtime fans for a neck-spinning loop.
The band that once spent an inordinate amount of time making sure their live vocals were sufficiently echoey (for maximum slow-mo effect) have traveled to their own version of a "fast" album which, while still decidedly snail-like compared to, say, Slayer, is no less passionate.

 Captain Rumbelly & The Panhead Pirates
The rider was identified as Captain Rumbelly, the alter-ego of DC Duncan of Pagosa Springs.
The song faded out and Rumbelly stood motionless in the soft colored light as the last notes evaporated into the atmosphere.
Most of the songs on this CD represent some form of redemption (as if an apologetic Captain Rumbelly could actually be redeemed by our music), but the title track seems to be the acceptance of an inevitable retribution.

For this lesson we are going to go south of the border, for War’s classic Low Rider, while this song has been in countless movies and tv shows, currently it is the theme to the ABC sitcom George Lopez.
Listen to the song a few times before attempting to play it, and make sure you have the groove locked into your head and can “sing” the line in your head, once you have that accomplished playing the riff becomes second hand.
Warning you will be unable to play these songs without a smile on your face.

 DiscoveryRide movie score
This instrumental song slowed things down a little bit and acts as an interlude between the bustle of Kentucky backroads with all their coal trucks and the awkward nature of Missouri residents and the rough hills of the state.
This song is very appropriate for the Kansas segment not only because it is from the group Kansas but because it talks about wind - which there is plenty of in Kansas.
This song was played on the local NPR station when I was in Oregon on Day 60.

The majority of their hits are here, including the Top 10 songs "Spill the Wine" (#3 in 1970), "The Cisco Kid" (#2 in 1973), ""Why Can't We Be Friends?" (#6 in 1975), "Low Rider" (#7 in 1975), and "Summer" (#7 in 1976).
Low Rider and Summer were big hits from my high school senior year.
But the music is superb (except for "Living in the Red"), and even the songs that have never disappeared from radio play still stand up well ("Low Rider" and the charmingly weird "Spill the Wine").
