Back on the Streets (Tower of Power album)

1979 studio album by Tower Of Power

Back on the Streets is an album by the American band Tower of Power, released in 1979.[4][5] It was their last album with Columbia Records. The title derives from the song "Back on the Streets Again" from their debut album East Bay Grease. David Garibaldi returns to the drummer's spot a third time, only to leave after this album, again. (He would not return again until 1998, and he's stayed for good since.) It also marked the debut of bassist Vito San Filippo and guitarist Danny Hoefer. This would be Hoefer's only album as a member of Tower of Power.[1]
