Our Take
Our Take
Tower of Power's Original Album Series is a groovy blast from the past that'll have you feeling like you've stepped into a time machine and landed smack dab in the middle of the '70s. This five-album collection is a funk-fueled journey through the band's soulful sound, complete with horn sections that hit harder than a runaway train and vocals that soar higher than a flock of seagulls on a summer day.
Tracks like "What Is Hip?" and "So Very Hard to Go" will have you dancing like nobody's watching, while slower jams like "Time Will Tell" will have you swaying with your eyes closed, lost in the music. Tower of Power's musicianship is tight, their energy infectious, and their ability to blend jazz, R&B, and rock seamlessly is truly something to behold.
But let's be real, this collection isn't for the faint of heart. If you're looking for something mellow and easy-listening, you might want to look elsewhere. Tower of Power brings the heat with every track, leaving you feeling like you've just been through a musical workout. But hey, who said getting funky was supposed to be easy?
So grab your bell-bottoms, dust off your platform shoes, and get ready to boogie down with Tower of Power's Original Album Series. This is music that's meant to be played loud, so turn up the volume and let the good times roll. Trust me, your ears will thank you.
