The 1001 Albums Challenge # 113: Fishbone – “Truth and Soul”

I never ever listened to Fishbone – but I have a feeling I meant to. At least at one point or other. I recall reading about their drummer, Phillip “Fish” Fisher – and I had them somewhere between Bad Brains and Living Colour and maybe that’s exactly where they are. And maybe it’s not. But […]
