Tower of Power followed their self-titled gold album with an even better album that didn't enjoy similar sales success. Back to Oakland had tougher, funkier and better-produced cuts, stronger vocals from Lenny Williams who was more comfortable as their lead singer, and included an excellent ballad in Time Will Tell, and a rousing tempo in Don't Change Horses In the Middle of a Stream. The Tower of Power horn section reaffirmed its reputation in both soul and pop circles, and the album included a powerhouse instrumental. Track Listing.
