B.W.'s PLAYLIST/ KHSU, 90.5/ SAT., 16 JULY 2011

At 61, Charles Bradley, Brooklyn-based soul singer, has finally made his debut release, No Time For Dreaming, with the Daptone all-star band, Menahan Street Band. No Time is a gutsy R&B record with killer grooves (thanks to excellent accompaniment of Menahan Street Band), full of immediate power and sincere, deep soul. Simply, it's a summer gem!
