Charles Bradley documentary on the way
Just selected for the SXSW 2012 Film Festival, the documentary Charles Bradley: Soul of America depicts the extraordinary late in life rise of 62 year old aspiring soul singer Charles Bradley, whose long overdue debut album, No Time For Dreaming (Daptone), took him from a hard life of poverty, homelessness and tragedy and rocketed him onto Rolling Stone magazine's top 50 albums of 2011.
The film follows Charles from his 62nd birthday through the electrifying and transformative months leading up to his unprecedented debut, world tour and ultimate triumph over an impossible dream 48 years in the making. Check out the trailer below.
Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires play Lee's Palace on Saturday February 11.

Jack White survives Insane Clown Posse fiasco
Here's the first song, Love Interruption, from Jack White's forthcoming solo album Blunderbuss set for release by Third Man/XL Recordings/Columbia on April 23. There's no word yet whether his Third Man labelmates Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope of Insane Clown Posse were involved in the recording. Vinyl junkies should note that the 7" single version of Love Interruption is out on February 7.

Spiritualized lands at the Phoenix in May
After Spiritualized presents the songs from their forthcoming seventh studio album Sweet Heart Sweet Light (Fat Possum) to UK audiences in March, Jason Pierce should finally have everything mixed to his liking by the time they begin the North American leg of their tour. That would mean finished copies of the 10-track Sweet Heart Sweet Light – originally set for release on March 19 but just pushed back "several weeks" – could be available for sale before Spiritualized arrives in Toronto to light up The Phoenix on May 5.
