Robert Bradley's BLACKWATER SURPRISE came out on RCA in 1996. Yes, I know it's 1999 (Happy New Year!), but there are tracks on this record that I'm still listening to. Robert Bradley sounds like a somewhat troubled/unstable guy whom these white boys in Detroit met as a street singer and decided to produce an album for. That's just my imagination? I think the strongest cuts are "Once Upon a Time" and "California" (remembrances of things past), although our local Nashville Radio Lightning is still playing "Shake It Off." Bradley's voice is powerful, old style, gritty soul. He reminds me of Clarence Carter and, my favorite, the troubled/unstable Chris Kenner.
