Watch Charles Bradley & the Extraordinaires at Bumbershoot Via KEXP
It’s been a while since we last caught the great soul-revivalist Charles Bradley (aka “The Screaming Eagle of Soul”) and his gregarious, generous and gracious act. So we were thrilled to see KEXP release 24 minutes of goodness from Bradley and his stalwart Extraordinaires (members of the Menahan Street Band) at this year’s Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle. Check out the full performance below. Bradley and his Extraordinaires are once again on fire at Bumbershoot as they perform You Put the Flame On It, Crying in the Chapel, Strictly Reserved for You and Let Love Stand a Chance for KEXP off of their fantastic album from earlier this year, Victim of Love. We like the added psychedelia and Ernie Isley-esque guitar riffs on a couple of these songs. Bradley can do no wrong in our book.
