More goes down in the session than music in this riveting portrayal of rage, racism, the self hate and exploitation."Searing ... funny, salty, carnal and lyrical.... Wilson has lighted a dramatic fuse that snakes and hisses through several anguished eras of American life. When the fuse reaches its explosive final destination, the audience is impaled by the impact." N.Y. Times."Brilliant ... explosive Dramatically riveting."
