Album

The Very Best of Tower of Power: The Warner Years is a compilation album of material recorded by the band Tower of Power from May 1972 to September 1975. All tracks are written by Emilio Castillo and Stephen Kupka, unless otherwise noted. Tower of Power Official Site. Oaklands Tower of Power make hot, funky soul, with nods to James Browns strutting R&B and to flowery California sunshine pop. Their greatest years include the rump-shaking What Is Hip, the aching Youre Still a Young Man, and the politically charged Only So Much Oil in the Ground. Lenny Williams shines on the wintry ballad So Very Hard to Go, while Rick Stevens commands the toe-tapping funk of Down to the Nightclub. Throughout, the famed Tower of Power horn section is a constant. The Very Best of Tower of Power: The Warner Years Tower Of Power. Usually, it's not a good sign if a band is generally known for augmenting artists instead of their own records, but Tower of Power was really a very good horn section, and they did make records that held their own. Pretty much all of those songs are captured on Rhino's 2001 anthology The Very Best of Tower of Power: The Warner Years, which spans 16 tracks and contains almost all the highlights of their '70s records.

So Very Hard to Go Remastered. So Very Hard to Go. When I think of Tower of Power I think of the hard hitting and powerful funk from their first iconic album East Bay Grease. This best of has none of those tracks and way too many soft ballads and formula top forty sounding songs for it to be called The best ofanything. If you're looking for the best of Tower of Power this ain't it I'm sorry to say. Get East Bay Grease and call it a day if you want to hear what they were really all about back in the day. Read more.
