Robert's new 2-CD live album, What About That: New Year's Eve in Bloomington, has drawn rave reviews from Billboard, Relix and Harp magazines, among several others: 
Billboard called the album "powerful," heralding Robert's "killer" covers of Joe South's "The Games People Play" and Elmore James' "Something Inside
Me." Writes critic Phillip Van Vleck: "Bradley and his fine
band have always managed an uncanny blend of soul, rock, blues and funk
in the studio, but when they take it onstage, they throw down."
Says
Relix, "Oh man, soul is alive and well, thanks to Detroit's
Robert Bradley and his Blackwater Surprise... [The second disc
includes] a stirring a cappella version of 'Will the Circle Be
Unbroken.' Bradley's voice is as soulful and grittty as ever, and the
expansion of his band adds a fuller, richer sound to the proceedings...
Cannon favorites such as 'Time to Discover,' 'Comin' Down' and 'Trouble
Brother' just go to show that Bradley can take his Detroit soul
anywhere worldwide and make it feel like home."
Harp called Robert a "riveting performer": "This rapturous, live 18-song set (and four-track
soundcheck/epilogue) is the pinnacle of soul, an arresting example of
musical rapport where the band jacks into Bradley’s blackwater essence
and makes his songs really, truly live."
This coming New Year's, Robert and the Blackwater Surprise will be back at The Bluebird in Bloomington, IN (where they captured
