Quick Hit: Discovering Charles Bradley & the Rebirth of Soul

With Twitter/Instagram/Facebook/Spotify/blogs/etc. we now have eleventy-billion ways to discover new music, but sometimes you still find a new favorite artist the old fashioned way. A friend played me E-TRAIN's "America" and I couldn't get past the sample. "Oh, that's Charles Bradley, you don't know about The Screaming Eagle?" my friend said.

Fast forward a couple weeks and I've got Bradley's "No Time for Dreaming" album on repeat in the house. Not only does the man have more soul than can possibly be contained in one body, he's got an amazing story that's been turned into a documentary.

There, maybe now you've discovered a new favorite artist too. Enjoy:
