Free Music Notes for What Is Hip?: The Tower of Power Anthology
Free Music Review: great collection !
Hit: 5 Stars
I had only 1 original CD of TOP and 2 old cassette tapes (remember that crap ?) a friend of mine recorded for me...
I wanted to buy a good collection and this double CD album was (and still is) a good choice.
you have to go and see them live, they are truly a bunch of amazing musicians.
What Is Hip?: The Tower of Power Anthology Poster
Tower of Power blew--literally--out of the Bay Area's early-'70s scene at a time when hip black and white tastes were further diverging. The horn-heavy ensemble managed to find an audience of album buyers on both the soul and rock sides of the divide, though. The first disc of this chronological two-CD retrospective of tracks made between 1970 and 1997 holds most of the highlights--notably the wise, intensely grooving title track, which has only gained cachet in the quarter-century since its release, and "So Very Hard to Go," one of the classiest pop-soul singles this side of the Spinners. More a bunch of well-schooled musicians than truly inspired songwriters, Tower of Power often sounded better than its material and rarely if ever touched the magic of those cuts again. What Is Hip?'s second half shows the act's fuel running low even before it relaunched as a '90s lite-funk answer to hometown pals Huey Lewis and the News. --Rickey WrightJazz Music CDs
