Very obscure when I purchased back in 1991, even more obscure today. Naked Truth, four cool black guys from the US who combine the soul of James Brown with the hard rock colour of Living Colour and the funk of say 24-7-Spyz and Fishbone although ,much of their sound is kept reasonably heavy. Such a record would have been lost during a time of great saturation within the scene with so many silly bands coming out and attempting the 'funk metal' style, such crazy and sickly antics could certainly be blamed on the stupid face-pulling antics of Chili Peppers front man Anthony Kiedis and the general comic lunacy of the band, but deep within the chasm of fake funk there were a handful of bands who made it big and also a handful that although lost today, are well worth checking out. Naked Truth keep the rock pretty abrasive, but aren't afraid to incorporate horns and the likes to keep the sound interesting.
7/10
