Our Take

Tower of Power's "Great American Soulbook" is a head-bopping, toe-tapping homage to the golden era of soul music. The band, known for their high-octane brass section and funky grooves, dives headfirst into a selection of classic tracks with their signature flair.

From the moment the album kicks off with a blistering rendition of Aretha Franklin's "Think," you know you're in for a wild ride. The horns blare, the drums pound, and the vocals soar, capturing the spirit of 60s and 70s soul in all its glory.

Tracks like "Lovely Day" and "This Time It's Real" showcase Tower of Power's versatility, blending smooth R&B with gritty funk to create a sound that is uniquely their own. The band's tight arrangements and impeccable musicianship shine through on every track, reminding listeners why they have been a mainstay in the music industry for over five decades.

While Tower of Power may be paying tribute to the greats of soul music, they do so with a freshness and energy that is all their own. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the genre or simply looking for some feel-good tunes to get you through the day, "Great American Soulbook" is guaranteed to put a smile on your face and a groove in your step. Trust me, you won't be able to resist hitting that repeat button.
