Tower of Power's albums...

I don't know any of their stuff but have heard good things.

What are they like? Which albums would you recommend?

Tower of Power's "Only So Much Oil In The Ground" was performed on a german casting show two days ago, and it was great! Watch:

Start with the first album 'East Bay Grease',then get 'Bump City','Tower Of Power' and 'Back To Oakland'.

Those first four albums are essential.
