For those unaware, for more than 50 years, Tower of Power has captivated music lovers with their unique blend of R&B, Funk, Soul, and Jazz spearheaded by the iconic Tower Horns.

For the very first time, that distinctive Tower of Power sound puts some soul into the holiday spirit with the album It’s Christmas - a collection of holiday classics and two original Christmas songs.

For vinyl collectors and aficionados, the album comes as both an eye-popping stand-alone red vinyl LP and a Limited-Edition red vinyl version that includes a 7" vinyl inside featuring the Channukah song Maoz Tzur on Side A and a Christmas medley on the B Side.

1. The Christmas Song
2. This Christmas
3. A Very Special Christmas
4. Hark The Herald Angles Sing
5. It’s Christmas (A Long Way From Home)
6. Silver Bells
7. O Holy Night
8. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
9. Mary Did You Know
10. Maoz Tzur
11. Christmas Medley (O Christmas Tree, Christmas Time Is Here, What Child Is This)

This wonderfully ambient, and gloriously heartfelt new Holiday recording opens on an upbeat and oh-so joyous The Christmas Song, the R&B-grooved This Christmas, the low slung, harmonized A Very Special Christmas and the euphonious Hark The Herald Angles Sing, and they are followed by a dutifully soulful title track It’s Christmas (A Long Way From Home) and an all-embracing Silver Bells.

Along next is the uplifting O Holy Night and the soulful blues of a delightfully funky Santa Claus Is Coming To Town and they are in turn backed seamlessly by the languishing Mary Did You Know, a simply magnificently-imbibed Maoz Tzur, the new set closing on the rather lovely, veritably glistening Christmas Medley (O Christmas Tree, Christmas Time Is Here, What Child Is This).
