“The Bravest Man In The Universe”
Bobby Womack
2012 XL Recordings Records
Soul and Blues legend Bobby Womack has endured and produced over 20 musical projects and virtually defined Soul and Blues music. His 27th CD entitled “The Bravest Man In The Universe” introduces a new generation of listeners to this vocal and musical legend. However, “The Bravest Man In The Universe” is NOT your typical soul and blues CD, rather the musical project is a radical departure in many ways. Bobby Womack’s thunderous and soulful voice anchors the CD, but at times clashes with the synthetic, loop-based accompaniment and techno sounds. Regardless, “The Bravest Man In The Universe” is a very DEEP CD in which Bobby Womack reveals so much remorse and inner pain and the material is entirely original. You may have to listen to the CD a few times to truly appreciate the artistic nature of “The Bravest Man In The Universe”
1) 3:53 “The Bravest Man In The Universe”- TITLE TRACK that starts off with a sample of the words “As a singer grows older.." Bass laden track with Bobby Womack’s gritty voice.
2) 4:31 “Please Forgive My Heart” – HOT TRACK- CD SLEEPER Emotional vulnerable song about a reckless life. "I'm a liar, I'm in a dream," he sings, "going my way, nothing to rely on."
3) 1:50 “Deep River” – Short Soulful, acoustic track with gospel flavored influence that is classic Bobby Womack.
4) 4:19 “Dayglo Relfection (feat Lana Del Rey)” Duet between Bobby Womack and singer Lana Del Rey. Womack’s voice is a sharp contrast to Del Rey’s.
5) 4:09 “Whatever Happened To The Times” – Powerful lyrics combined with techno rich beats creates as dark, remorseful, and dank ballad..
6) 0:22 “Stupid Interlude (Feat. Gil Scott Heron)” – Beautiful piano combined with the social commentary of the late Gil Scott Heron-Classic!
7) 3:52 “Stupid” – HOT TRACK- CD SLEEPER Powerful voice, Powerful lyrics, the sounds of Bobby Womack unleashed!
8) 4:38 “If There Wasn’t Something There” – Tightly wound drums and repetitive rigidness combined with Bobby Womack’s fluid voice creates an interesting track-Great Filler Song!
9) 3:44 “Love Is Gonna Lift You Up” – HOT TRACK- CD SLEEPER – This song has potential-Up beat repetitive track with catchy lyrics.
10) 3:47 “Nothin’ Can Save Ya (feat. Fatoumata Diawara)” – Funky smooth and beautiful track with Malian musician Fatoumata Diawara.-Slow Beat.
11) 2:07 “Jubilee (Don’t Let Nobody Turn You Around)” – Electronic Techno TESITFYING Track that only Bobby Womack can pull off!
