What do you call a sexagenarian at the top of his game? Bobby Womack.



Bobby Womack's solo album The Bravest Man In The Universe has stayed in relatively steady rotation on the tankPHONE since it was released earlier this year. Damon Albarn produced it, and while it looks like it was spurred on by the two men's work together on the last Gorillaz album, it is very much Womack's show here. One of my biggest concert regrets of this year thus far was missing Womack when he was in town a few weeks ago, and watching his performance above of "Jubilee (Don't Let Nobody Turn You Around)" on Pitchfork TV only reinforces that feeling.

Check out the whole four song set. It's definitely worth watching. And the new album is definitely worth owning.
