Bobby Womack - Love Is Gonna Lift You Up

After having surgery and being cleared of his illness last month, Bobby Womack, the King of Soul, is now ready to drop his new album 'Bravest Man In The Universe'. The album is his first release in over 18 years and is produced entirely by Richard Russell & Damon Albarn - it has a much more modern and edgy feel to it, which is very remeniscent of Gil Scott's 'I'm New Here'. Hopefully this isn't Bobby's last body of work though, because it's pretty damn special and he clearly still has a lot to offer. June 11th is the date - THIS IS MY JAM!!!
