Direct is a 1981 live in-studio album by Tower of Power.

It was their only album for the direct-to-disc record label Sheffield Lab.

It also marked the return of original guitarist Willie James Fulton, not heard from since 1972's Bump City, and the last album to feature saxophonist Lenny Pickett.

Mark Sanders plays drums on this album.

It contained mostly songs from their previous albums, but included new material as well.
