The “Screaming Eagle of Soul Music” himself, Charles Bradley is one of the my favorite, and most refreshing stories of making it against the world’s forces. The 65-year-old crooner has found success late in his life, garnering attention at 2011 SXSW on the strength of his debut project, No Time For Dreaming and a rousing string of performances. Last year he followed that up with the critically-acclaimed Victim of Love, continuing to show a lost generation the ways of soul. Yesterday Bradley announced his touring plans for 2014 alongside a video of him performing his song, “Confusion” live on Soundcheck. Tour dates can be found after the video.
