What 70s-funk group released two albums under the name Senor Soul? Here’s a hint. One of their songs was featured in the stoner classic Up In Smoke, and that song is still a defining anthem of California car culture. The answer is… WAR. The name change happened as the band signed up with producer Jerry Goldstein & joined forces with Eric Burdon in 1969. While on tour supporting their 2nd LP Burdon suffered an asthma attack on stage and left the tour. The band continued without him and finished the itinerary as just WAR. Their incredible run of hits began in 1971, and continued into the 80s. And that car culture anthem in Cheech & Chong’s first movie? That would be “Low Rider”.
