We were blown away last summer by Charles Bradley and the Menihan Street Band when they played at Soho in Santa Barbara.  As we said, the emotion from and for Bradley was palpable.  We hear Charles is back in the studio and look forward to his next releases.

For a flavor check out Charles Bradley and his Extraordinaires (including many of the Menihans) performing The World (Is Going Up in Flames) from his debut album No Time For Dreaming on Later Live with Jools Holland last week.  In a word:  soulful.
