Charles Bradley: No Time for Dreaming
Aug 26th, 2011 by mallen
“On first spin, most listeners won’t be able to tell that gutsy soul singer Charles Bradley’s Daptone debut wasn’t recorded in the late ’60s and dusted off for release in early 2011. The music and performances are vibrant and alive with arrangements that are innovative yet informed by their roots. Retro-soul aficionados who claim they don’t make ‘em like they used to will obviously be thrilled with this, but even contemporary R&B fans can’t help but be moved by the emotion and passion evident in every note of this riveting set.”–All Music Guide
