Editorial Reviews

Re-release of Tower of Power's most recent studio album (released in 2003) on their label, Tower of Power Records. The ten piece collective features founding members Emilio Castillo and Doc Kipka on horns, David Garibaldi on drums and Rocco Prestia on bass. Oakland Zone harks back to the original TOP sound of heavy hitting funk with rich R&B vocals, courtesy of Larry Braggs. Includes TOP's signature sound with tracks like "Give Me Your Love," "This Type of Funk" and "Happy Bout That". 2008 marks the band's 40th anniversary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure 'New' TOP!
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2009

This is kind of a 3 CD review, because I think all TOP fans will like these albums.

The new 2009 "...Soulbook..." CD is great. Studio Fresh! I hate to see "Iron Mike" on trumpet leaving this lineup, after this month. I played all these soul works in 3 great horn bands (Swingin Medallions, Pieces of Eight and Soul Differentials) during the sixties and early 70's. I'm playing them now with great 'younger' players as well. It's hard to compare 'anything' to the original master works by Otis, Wilson P. and definitely the God Father, James Brown. But, this CD is good and different.

This Oakland Zone CD is the kind of TOP I really love. A new full out extemely well produced funk 2008 studio CD.

I would also highly recommend the 1998 Soul Vaccination 'live album'. It is probably the finest 'live' audio album I have ever heard. Jesse McGuire (sp?) is extremely 'hot iron' on trumpet. I have great musician friends who agree about the live album quality.

My library includes TOP all the way back to the early vinyl lps. But, these three CD's are really special, each in their own way!

I have been listening to TOP for quite a long time. I grew up in the Bay Area. This album blows my socks off. The recording is fantastic. (I can't understand some critics here) Let me tell you that if you know TOP you must purchase this fine album.

Als Spätwerk zurück zu den Wurzeln. Feiner Funk, toller Groove, tighte Bläser. Genau das ist Tower of Power und auf dieser Platte wieder wunderbar dokumentiert.
