Our Lowriders album is an amalgam of the two "This Is Lowrider Soul" CDs. We have chosen 14 tracks that represent the sounds loved by Los Angelenos， often of Mexican descent， that emanate from their fabulously designed motors while cruising Whittier Boulevard in East LA or， say， Van Nuys Boulevard in the northwest of the city. The classic Los Angeles vocal group the Superbs are featured here on their glorious It Hurts So Much， but it is mainly the records discovered by sweet soul collectors that dominate. The Carnival label has a great reputation on this scene; Lee Williams & the Cymbals Please Say It Isnt So and Follow Your Heart by the Manhattans are a pair of killer ballads perfect in tempo and harmony for the cruisers. Other East Coast offerings include the Persians captivating Here It Comes and two gems which were only on master tape prior to their Kent releases - Melvin Hicks & The Versatiles Im Just Passing Time and the similarly unknown outfit the Exceptions， with the wailing So Much In Love. Chicago has always been a breeding ground for black harmony groups. The Esquires saw much success at Bunky; No Doubt About It was their equally great first release at Wand. Little Ben & The Cheers hailed from the same city; their Im Not Ready To Settle Down fetches big bucks due to Lowrider demand， as does What Am I Gonna Do by the mysterious Houston Outlaws - their origins are uncertain， but must be Midwestern. The Vanguards hailed from Indianapolis and deservedly charted with Somebody Please， licensed to LAs Whiz label. All of their seven singles on Lamp are also fine， harmonic soul tracks. The Lovers were a Bay Area group who recorded in Los Angeles with the maestro Arthur Wright; their Someone was tipped for the charts when licensed to Philips， but flopped， leaving it ripe for revival by the soul connoisseurs. Like the Lovers， the reputation of Reuben Bells Its Not That Easy has grown over the decades and a record once considered common can now fetch hundreds of dollars - class will out.
