WeirdMusic.net CD REVIEWS
Tower of Power, those super slick funk/soul/R&B all stars hailing from Oakland, California, usher in their 40th anniversary with yet another winning album. Every cut delivers hip and electrified re-imaginings of soul favorites from artists like Arethra Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Billy Paul, and James Brown. Larry Braggs kicks it off with blazing hot vocal work in "You met your match", whose unquestionable musicianship might be enough for Stevie himself to admit that he has. The second track, "I thank you" keeps it square in the pocket with the rhythms of David Garibaldi, whose linear drumming wizardry, along with hands down the best horn section in soul history, backs one of the most iconic voices of our time, Tom Jones. Other appearances include, Joss Stone, with "It takes two" Sam Moore, on "Mr. Pitiful", and Huey Lewis delivering a down and dirty performance of "634-5789".
