Its a posthumous release, so it appears to be mostly made up of outtakes, but Black Velvet is still a pretty good depiction of what Charles Bradley was all about. It doesn't have the highs that his last album Changes had, but another great cover is the standout track on the album. This time its Nirvana's Stay Away
Standout tracks: Stay Away, I Feel a Change, Black Velvet
