Charles Bradley - No Time For Dreamin

* It’s taken just two short years for Dunham Records – an imprint of Daptone Records – to establish itself as one of the
most captivating creative forces in soul music. The brainchild of guitarist/producer Thomas “Tommy TNT” Brenneck,
Dunham’s indelibly atmospheric sound is epitomized by its flagship artist, Menahan Street Band. After releasing a hand-
ful of crucial 45s, Dunham Records prepares to enter the next phase of its evolution with the debut album of its inaugu-
ral vocalist, Charles Bradley.

* 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. 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’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.

* Songs off the backing ban(ds’, Menahan Stree)t Band, debut album Make The R Walking released in 2007 have been
sampled by Jay Z and Kid Cudi.
