Ace/Kent are releasing a vinyl compilation of fourteen lowrider tunes that
have been previously released on the two volumes of "This Is Lowrider Soul" titled "Lowriders Sweet Soul Harmony From The Golden Era".
Several tracks were previously unreleased until they appeared on CD and a
couple have subsequently been released on vinyl sevens by Sean Hampsey's
excellent Diggin' Deep label in the last few years.
If you are not familiar with the term Lowrider Soul, then I did a
quick overview a while ago. A Brief Intro to Lowrider Soul. In short, it's an evolution of doo-wop where the Chicano community of
East L.A. cruise around (often on the famed Whittier Boulevard) in vintage
cars playing sweet soul harmony style oldies from (mainly) the 60s & 70s and
mainly, but not always, by groups (i.e. hence the harmony element).
The album is available to pre-order from
Ace/Kent
or from other good vinyl outlets such a
SimplySoul with a release date given of 25 Feb 2022.
I have managed to find all but two tracks on Spotify in playlist below. The
other two have links to YouTube clips (in bold below).
