The seven-piece lineup of Lonnie Jordan, Howard Scott, B.B. Dickerson, Harold Brown, Papa Dee Allen, Charles Miller and harmonica player Lee Oskar fused funk, soul, Latin rhythms, jazz and blues into a sound that belonged to the streets of Southern California.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Cisco Kid opens with that famous loping groove and a tale of the cowboy hero, and it became one of the band's biggest hits. The title track unfolds slowly, a haunting meditation on poverty and hope carried by smoky horns and harmonica. City, Country, City rides a long, rolling jam that shifts mood as it travels, and Four Cornered Room drifts into spacey, jazz-flavored territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFew records of the era have traveled so far, and its songs have been sampled and covered by hip-hop and R\u0026amp;B artists for decades. With six tracks spread across four sides, this pressing lets every conga hit and bass line land with weight.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57352640692529,"sku":"821797264716","price":91.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/War-The_World_Is_A_Ghetto_2LP.jpg?v=1793990383","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/war-the-world-is-a-ghetto-2lp","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
