Show Review: Cat's Cradle, Carrboro, N.C. Bradley accompanies his soulful screams with an odd assortment of moves that look like they were put together from watching Soul Train. He’ll do a second or two of a JB shuffle before launching into a jerky Robot, then just stand flat-footed center stage thrusting his pelvis like a leg-humpin' dog. He has said he closes his eyes when he sings because he doesn’t want anyone to see the hurt he’s feeling inside, so maybe what we’re seeing is just his demons trying to escape. Whatever the cause, coupled with his heartbroken, gut wrenching vocals, it makes for a show you won’t soon forget. After a long version of “Lovin’ You Baby” that has Bradley down on his knees screaming his lungs out, he closes his set with “Golden Rule,” sounding like the jumpsuit clad JB of the ‘80s. “I love you too,” he shouts out to some impassioned female fans who are tearily screaming his name like teenie boppers after a pop idol. Then he hops off stage into the crowd, and it's over. The band stops playing and the lights come up, and Bradley is still in the middle of the audience passing out sweaty hugs to everyone around him as he slowly works his way back to the dressing room, a big smile creasing his face. Soul is back, and with Charles Bradley at the helm, it’s gonna be as big and bad as ever. - Grant Britt |
