Rarely if ever has a band been defined by the bass lines of its best songs to the extent that the band WAR is defined by B.B. Dickerson. Cisco Kid, Slippin’ Into Darkness, Spill the Wine, Low Rider and The World is a Ghetto, to name a few, are songs that reverberate from the bottom up. In the 70s, and ever since, Dickerson’s syncopated grooves have been the foundation on which great parties are built and great memories are made. Sadly, in recent years, a legal conflict has meant that Dickerson and all but one of his bandmates toured under a pseudonym, the Original Lowriders. But by any name, when B.B. Dickerson left us at age 71, he took the party with him.
