A friend bought some tickets to see
Tower of Power at one of my favorite
venues for Friday night’s show. I had no idea what I was in for. The band is now fronted by the charismatic, entertaining “Memphis Soul Man”
Marcus Scott and the rhythm and horn sections were superb. This show blew me away. It also didn't hurt that we were in the second row.
My parents always relinquished control of the car radio to their kids.
I knew all of the latest pop songs from the car. I’ll often hear a tune and immediately think “car radio song”.
So Very Hard to Go is my quintessential car radio song. How can I not throw in
What Is Hip?
Very interesting interviews with
Emilio Castillo and
David Garibaldi
Have a listen to
Stop by
Howard Tate, one of the songs mentioned in Castillo's interview (above) that inspired the
Tower of Power sound.
