Tower of Power's Back to Oakland
A funk hall of fame ode to its hometown.
The funk sound produced by the powerful horn section and tight rhythm section shows their true essence, unchanged since the 1970s. This album is the culmination of their performance techniques honed over their long career and their unwavering belief in funk.
