Artist- Charles Bradley
Album- No Time for Dreaming
Label- Daptone
Genre- soul
This funk and soul album comes from Daptone Records, home of Sharon Jones & the Dapkings and the Budos Band among other acts. Bradley is a hard-hitting soul belter who sounds at times like James Brown, especially in his coaxing “cmons!” and guttural noises. The Menahan Street Band (sampled frequently by Jay-Z and 50 Cent, randomly) provide excellent backing instrumentation (not as heavy as Budos Band, for example).
This album perfectly reinvents the soul movement of the 1960s and ‘70s into something gut-wrenching, beautiful, and modern.
