The debut album, on Daptone Records imprint Dunham, from the dynamic soul singer. This album has been long anticipated by Daptone fans!! Charles Bradley's voice has evolved from a lifetime of paying dues, having nomadically laboured for decades at various day jobs from Maine to Alaska singing and performing in his spare time before re-settling in his hometown Brooklyn and eventually finding a musical home at Dunham.
In his distinctively rough-hewn timbre one hears the unmistakable voice of experience each note and gruff inflection a reflection of his extended, sometimes rocky, personal path. It's only fitting that No Time For Dreaming's producer Brenneck (also a member of The Dap-Kings and The Budos Band) would recognize in Bradley a kindred musical spirit a singer whose performances exude both raw power and poignant beauty. Recorded at Dunham Studios, and mixed at Daptone Records internationally revered 'House of Soul' Studios, No Time For Dreaming is the inspired sound of an awakening.
