Title:	No Time for Dreaming
Label:	DAPTONE
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	DAP 022CD

"Charles Bradley's voice has evolved from a lifetime of paying dues, having nomadically labored 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/Daptone. In his distinctively rough-hewn timbre one hears the unmistakable voice of experience--each note and gruff infection a reflection of his extended, sometimes rocky, personal path. It's only fitting that No Time For Dreaming's producer Thomas 'Tommy TNT' 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."

"Daptone Family, your prayers have been answered! Charles Bradley No Time for Dreaming - The Instrumentals is here! Never before has the Daptone H.Q. experienced such a unanimous outcry for instrumental satisfaction. We're talking interplanetary, people. I believe our request came in just minutes after Charles Bradley's international, smash-hit debut left the pressing plant. A truck leaving the plant was held up by a couple of rogue DJs (we assume) trying to lock down the freshest wax for a party they were throwing later that evening. Gunfire ensued, but the dastardly ends escaped with one copy of No Time for Dreaming. This is purely speculation, but authorities believe one of the thugs must have been carrying a portable player, because just seconds after word of the great heist was leaked to the media, Daptone H.Q. received a mysterious message - the voice barely audible due to some sort of digital trickery - begging for Charles Bradley instrumentals. The calls haven't stopped since. Our solution: 12 dynamite tracks of unstoppable instrumentality. These hypnotic hymns--played oh so skillfully by Brooklyn's premier super group, Menahan Street Band, promises to be the consummate summer soundtrack for all you hip cats and kittens."
