Watch Charles Bradley and the Extraordinaires Perform “Confusion” on KUTX
One of our favorite soul-revivalists, Charles Bradley (aka “The Screaming Eagle of Soul”) and the stalwart Extraordinaires (formerly the Menahan Street Band) recently checked in to KUTX Studios and performed new song Confusion. The beauty of Bradley is he may look and sound throwback (James Brown the most obvious touchstone), but he brings a uniquely keen sensibility and a hard-fought hardness to the musical surroundings, and never keeps you in the dark as to where his heart and soul lie. Confusion is from Bradley’s new critically-acclaimed album, Victim of Love. The song obviously has roots in The Temptations’ 1970 hit Ball of Confusion, (which you can listen to at bottom), but Bradley gives the state of affairs a more personal spin that is unrelentingly captivating. Bravo Mr. Bradley!
