The song is about a time when music was played all day, it woke us up, we walked, moved, went places, hung out, etc. and music was always there and we went to bed with it. This song is summer, it captures that time and space perfectly. For me it’s always the stairs in front of the house where people gathered, bongos, beers wrapped in bags, parents watching kids play and teens doing what we do.
We we used to cruise with Wars music back in the '70s with my lowrider and all my Chola girlfriends. Cisco kid, Cinco de Mayo are some of my favorites by War
i had meant to say improvised, not improved. But I loved groups whose music sounded improvised....The Ohio Players, War, Sly and the Family Stone, Funkadelic...l
Right! And “Summer” by War. Sly’s “Hot Fun in the Summertime.” “Love Rollercoaster.” And a little-known tune, “In the Summertime,” by Mungo Jerry with early beatbox and jug playing (blowing in a bottle!). Lol. What else? 🤪
war were a top soul funk band used harmonica in britain we have a all day breakfast which most cafe serve eggs bacon beans tomatoes 2 toast and a mug of tea , you can eat anytime of day music that you can listen to all day anytime
Very nice album request. Reminds me of my late favorite uncle who continued to play it for years after its release, introducing it to me as a preteen. This “All Day Music” title cut (gorgeous harmonies, laidback romantic imagery, and that harmonica) and the lovely Latin listening and percussion of “Nappy Head” were Unc’s faves, therefore mine.🥲🙏🏾🎼🎵🎤🎹
back in the day; college radio station, after night of rockin', dancin' and jivin' with the honeys. This was the nightcap, your baby in your arms, easing on into the night.
War is like EWF without the fancey wrobes more hood wind and fire lol / stayed true to the heavy afro Cuban influences but no less DOPE songs and arrangements
I mean...SO MANY memories playing this album at the beach (Hawaii) during the summer and cruising during the 70s!!!!!! Having a few brewskies and some pakalolo!! Classic and Timeless!! Next? "Summer"...
War had some of the best cuisine songs ever in my low rider in the Barrio. I love these lyrics. "Let's have a picnic go to the park, Rolling in the grass till long after dark."
my unc used to light up a "doobie'" as he called it and kicked it all day back in the day w/ old school chilling music like this while sipping on that 'gin-n-tonic" and called it paradise! ... I gotta thank ma unc for hippin' me to this here drift ... straight borrowing from the vernacular of his day! Btw, try "don't let no one get you down" by the same group ... ma unc's #1 song by these here cats.
Couple of thoughts...on the album overall, I understand why it may not hit you when compared to later works. Some groups you probably are better off starting with a greatest hits album first. War is in that vein...a few hits on several albums. As for this song in particular, it helps to understand the cultural vibe of the group, which was the Los Angeles vibe...outdoors, laid back, with Black and Latin musical influences. Picture yourself in a low rider convertible, driving to the park for a day of good food, friends and vibes (drink, smoke, natural high...etc). That was the essence of this track in particular and a part of what WAR was about in general. They played the music of the people in the hoods and barrios...and it resonated well beyond LA.
War's music sounded so organic and in-the-moment, I'm sure much of it was improved. A lot of it was amusing too like "Blisters". Unfortunately, many original members of the band have passed away. Consider trying out "Me And Baby Brother", "Southern Part Of Texas" or the faux reggae "Just Because".
The brothers from Long Beach, CA. Like the world's greatest garage band. Always great, always loose. Beer on a hot day. Tequila and limes and WAR; you get it.

Speaking the truth you are, and I'm saying this 2 yrs later. 😅😊

"All Day Music", "Summer Madness" by Kool and the Gang, and "Summer Breeze" by the Isley Brothers means summer has officially started.
Right! And “Summer” by War.
Sly’s “Hot Fun in the Summertime.” “Love Rollercoaster.” And a little-known tune, “In the Summertime,” by Mungo Jerry with early beatbox and jug playing (blowing in a bottle!). Lol. What else? 🤪
Another one of those awesome cruising songs from back in the 70's.
No shit. Don't forget "Hot Fun In The Summertime." - Sly and the Family Stone
Yes Yes Yes to "Summer Magic"!!!! That song takes me to such good places in my head!!! Thanks for reminding me, Renee!!!!
Lee Oskar on harmonica.I always get such a beautiful laid back vibe listening to this song.Great memories of my teenage partying days.🌴
Music is what we like to play ALL DAY. To sooth your soul.
War is still very active. If you’re ever able to, go see them!
Yes they are, as the Lowrider Band.
This is Summer music. If you were there, you don't just know, you FEEL this song.
Amen
This reminds me of driving top down in the summer. Car top, not my top.. LOL
😯😯 either way sounds nice😆. I agree, great summer time cruising song. WAR is great band.
@@mumm-ratheeverliving2288 LOL!

At. 65 yrs old im glad im still alive to appreciate the music of my younger days and relive the sounds. You have an old soul for a young guy!

The stars aligned for them on this song. Another song I like is "Suavecito" by Malo.
This album is a classic and this sone meant summer, still does; the best. Luther did great!
Another classic...this was always playing in my house when I was child.
Check out "Galaxy", "Summer", "Low Rider", "Don't Take It Away" and "Baby, It's Cold Outside" by War.
Lonnie Jordan was a BEAST on the black-n-whites!
Another great one from this Iconic group
About time you got to War. Welcome to the Masterclass!
War always takes me to a place deep in my memories I am a kid watching cousins and their friends wash their low riders and blasting war music all day
back in the day; college radio station, after night of rockin', dancin' and jivin' with the honeys. This was the nightcap, your baby in your arms, easing on into the night.
this music is for slow dancin' with your honey; also played it a lot just groovin' on a Sunday afternoon, lazy, relaxed, laid back.
The ultimate low cruising jam!
War is like EWF without the fancey wrobes more hood wind and fire lol / stayed true to the heavy afro Cuban influences but no less DOPE songs and arrangements

Don’t Let No One Get You Down is a must listen.
Perfect Sunday afternoon top down open road song equally fitting for a slow ride through the neighborhood or a cruse through the park.
All day music for corner room. The world is a ghetto. What a great album. Brings back so many good memories. Wow thanks for doing this.
War had some of the best cuisine songs ever in my low rider in the Barrio. I love these lyrics. "Let's have a picnic go to the park, Rolling in the grass till long after dark."
Yess! I love this song. Reminds me of my childhood family parties. 🎶💕
This was a song about being in love, at the beach, rolling in the grass until way after dark. Forever!

Love, love, love this song! Great request Luther! 👍👍😍✌

Great song! Love me some War!!
Listen to ' Me and Baby Brother'
The brothers from Long Beach, CA. Like the world's greatest garage band. Always great, always loose. Beer on a hot day. Tequila and limes and WAR; you get it.
How many joints have I smoked to THIS album lol
I hope you do a reaction to War's "Galaxy" - that is super fun to dance to!
Mr Lee Oskar on harmonica!
At the beach at Sunset on a Sunday...
We played this album until the grooves were worn down!!!
Making love is making music ! Along with riding around having an picnic all with the one you love that is music # love is music all day long
Hey Luther, I really love your reviews. Can you do one for Lee Oskar "Haunted House"? He was the harmonic player for WAR.
Check out Cisco Kid and The World is a Ghetto by them....
You have to react to THE WORLD IS A GHETTO!! It is awesome!❤
