Don't Change Horses (in the Middle of a Stream)" (Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Lenny Williams) - 4:28. Just When We Start Makin' It" (Castillo, Kupka, Lenny Williams) - 6:30.

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.
