Go For Your Guns is a 1977 album released by The Isley Brothers on their T-Neck imprint. The album yielded three charted R&B singles including their #1 political funk anthem, "The Pride", the Top 40 pop record, "Livin' in the Life" and their Top 50 ballad, "Voyage to Atlantis", which became one of the Isleys' most beloved songs in their later years as well as the radio track, "Footsteps in the Dark", which instrumental was sampled by Ice Cube for his 1992 hit, "It Was a Good Day". This album was their second platinum-certified album.
