Charles Bradley – Victim of Love (LP Vinyl)
Charles Bradley Vinyl Records
Product Details
Charles Bradley didn't find his recording career until his early 60s, after decades of hardship that included homelessness and working as a James Brown impersonator in Coney Island. That backstory isn't incidental to the music; it's the music, delivered with a raw emotional conviction that studio craft alone can never manufacture. Victim of Love, his second LP, finds him and the Menahan Street Band fully locked in together, the arrangements growing more ambitious without losing an ounce of that hard-won soul.
Vinyl LP pressing. 2013 release from the veteran R&B vocalist AKA the 'Screaming Eagle of Soul'. Bradley and writer/producer/multi-instrumentalist Thomas "TNT" Brenneck returned to Dunham studios and have recorded the most exciting Daptone release to date. On this album, Bradley moves past his "Heartaches and Pain" to the great promise of hope and love. Though quite at home among the music that has affirmed Daptone as the world's #1 authority on Soul Music, Victim of Love proves to be a genre-bending masterpiece, picking up where the early 70's Temptations left off and edging boldly forward into psychedelic soul exploration.
