Description

“Truth And Soul” is the second album from the Los Angeles punk-funk-rockers originally released in 1988. The album opens with the Curtis Mayfield cover “Freddie’s Dead” from the soundtrack to the film “Super Fly”. With Kendall Jones experimenting with hard-rock and heavy metal in his guitar work he influenced the Fishbone new material to what became to be the “Truth And Soul” album as it is: “Fresh heavy cross-over funk-ska-soul-rock”. It has awesome ska songs like “Ma and Pa”, lots of funk in “Questions of Life” and of course the hard-rock-punk in “Freddie’s Dead”. All together along with great horns like in “Questions of Life” and lyrically improved, one of the best albums of the 80’s.
