Black Angeles - Michelle T Clinton and Wanda Coleman

This is the most non-christmassy album I could find if you are fed up with happy santa tunes check out Michelle T Clinton and Wanda Coleman ' s 1988 album Black Angeles ........ think of what Charles Bukowski would be like if he was a black militant feminist doing live proto rap /poetry and you will get the picture.
