Keep seeing records listed on soul source and other forums as low rider. Can anyone help me and explain what defines a soul record as such🤔

Hiya, lowrider music has never been just soul music it covers lots of genres. Lowrider soul  is a term used to cover mainly more midtempo/ down tempo and sweet soul. Basically cruising music. We used to watch lowrider / beach movies in the 7ts due to being into drag racing, custom cars etc. Lots of doo wop, cheers

What anything slow, mid tempo that covers lots if not all genres... thats a wide area !!

Yep, agreed. A bit like defining northern, cheers

Well not really.....NS considerably narrower I would suggest ...😁

Lots of threads on here, if you research.

I got a signed copy of this in LA 2004, which explains a lot on the popular records, and a little on the way of life.

This link even inspired Sean Hampsey to help with a CD on ACE (Sean the well known Sheffield Low Rider that is (LOL))
