Episode 65: Fishbone’s “The Reality of My Surroundings” (1991)

What do you get when you mix funk, ska, soul, punk, old-school rhythm & blues, and a heaping helping of chaos? Laurie and Scott find out as they get into Fishbone’s would-be breakout album, “The Reality of My Surroundings.” This ambitious (if uneven) offering from the L.A. combo takes on social issues using top-notch musicianship, frenetic energy, and a quirky sense of humor: the result is like nothing else.   ******************** SUBSCRIBE ON PATREON FOR ADS-FREE LISTENING AND SPECIAL BONUS CONTENT!
