Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise - Still Lovin' You (2003)

Soul singer Robert Bradley continues down the path of previous Blackwater Surprise releases on Still Lovin’ You, even though he’s recycled most of his backing band in recent years. A mix of traditional R&B-infused pop rockers, Bradley emphasizes his soul roots on “All I Wanna Do,” “When You Love Something” and the title track. A perky cover of the Isaac Hayes classic “I Thank You” serves Bradley’s aging voice well. While this version of Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise is less inclined to rock, it provides solid-enough backing for Bradley's songs of life, love and longing. The second half of Still Lovin’ You is less cohesive, although “Virginia” and “Hollywood” tend to grow on you after repeated listens.
