Review Truth and Soul / Fishbone:

Truth & Soul is the most focused, most frenetic, and most political album in Fishbone's small but important catalog of ska/metal/funk/punk. They still party on this record (note "Bonin' in the Boneyard") but they also offer some serious doses of reality, and some fierce insight about growing up black in America. Much of the material (including "Slow Bus Movin'," "Ghetto Soundwave," and the potent, hopeful "One Day") was recorded on the 1988 birthdates of Martin Luther King Jr. and Abraham Lincoln. Madcap vocalist Angelo Moore is in good form on Truth, but guitarist Kendall Jones often threatens to steal the show, particularly on the amped-up cover of Curtis Mayfield's "Freddie's Dead. " -Michael Ruby.

Review Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas [1998] (REGION 1) (NTSC) / Walt Disney Video:

Obviously the Disney suits gave more than two figs about the legacy from the first Beast film, as they reassembled the former cast and spent some cash on production and tune-smithing for this straight-to-video effort. The events unfold between the time in the first film where Belle bartered herself to the Beast and her later return to the village to save her father. So the Beast's heart still hasn't been melted yet and he's susceptible to the inky persuasions of Forte (Tim Curry), a malevolent pipe organ (and former music teacher to the prince). Belle is still trying to win over the Beast and decides that bringing Christmas to the castle will be the way to do it. Please control that gag reflex for this does work remarkably well and though entirely unnecessary and certainly not a complement to the original, it doesn't tarnish its good name. -Keith Simanton.

Review White Christmas / Al Green:

Al Green is one of those gifted vocal stylists critics say could sing the telephone book and make it sound like music. While the man will always sound best backed by Willie Mitchell's arrangements, he still makes the best out of any situation. In the vein of his gospel recordings, Green set his sights on Father Christmas. Recorded at American Music Studios in Memphis with a then-contemporary backing group (1983), Green lets loose with his own interpretations, always adding a soulful twist, whether it be "Winter Wonderland" or "Silent Night. " The only drawback is that there are only nine tracks here. -Rob O'Connor.
