All the tracks on Low Ride were written by Earl Klugh and recorded in February and May 1982 at A&M Studios in Los Angeles and Mediasound in New York.

Paulinho Da Costa was a popular musician that worked with many artists whilst carving out a very interesting solo career, notably releasing the critically acclaimed club classic Deja Vu.

Charles Meeks played bass on the album's lead track Back In Central Park and then appears only on Christina, and If You're Still In Love With Me (which also features James Bradley, Jr. on drums).

Leading UK Jazz Funk DJ Robbie Vincent played the outstanding track Night Drive on his famous Radio London "Saturday Show" when the album was still only available as an import.

This caused a big scurry of fans and DJs to the London record shops that same weekend where import copies quickly sold out.

For many years, the Low Ride album remained unreleased on CD, except for a limited release in West Germany in 1983 on the EMI Capitol label (CDP 7 46007 2).

Only in 2006/07 did CD copies start to surface and in 2010, the album finally was remastered and pressed alongside the excellent LPs Crazy For You and Dream Come True (Released by BCD Records under licence from EMI, Cat No: BCDCD952).

Back In Central Park, Night Drive and Christina have all appeared on compilations released prior to the remastering of the Low Ride album.
