NEW YORK (Top40 Charts/ Outta Sight Records) - Soul music is here to stay, and it's still evolving. The Dynamites Featuring Charles Walker are living proof.
The Dynamites ft Charles Walker - Burn It Down
Nashville's white hot deep funk band releases their highly anticipated second studio album, titled 'Burn It Down', on September 15, 2009. Look for the band on tour this Fall in support the new album.
For their 2nd LP, The Dynamites and their soul-shouting frontman deliver a slate of tunes that arrives right on time.
It's a new day and Charles Walker and his band have something to say. The kind of story where you gotta tear it down to rebuild it, the greedy man ultimately gets his due, love rules the day and everybody gets down in the end. It's a timeless tale, as relevant as ever, and it's told here in a righteously funky fashion. Strike a match, light the fuse and BURN IT DOWN!

As the New York Times hailed:
'New York City has the Dap-Kings, Nashville has the Dynamites, whose approach is about three quarters James Brown with touches of Memphis, Motown and New Orleans. [And] The Dynamites have found a singer to put them across: Charles Walker, who has been on the soul circuit since the 1960s. His voice rivals better-known headliners; he's an authoritative, gospel-steeped shouter and a dramatic ballad builder. It's old-school music that works up a genuine sweat.'
The Dynamites are: Charles Walker (vocals), Bill Elder, a.k.a. Leo Black (guitar), Chris West (saxophones and flute), Jon-Paul Frappier (trumpet), Charles Treadway and Tyrone Dickerson (organ), Chris Patterson (percussion), Derrek Phillips (drums), Jonathan Jackson (saxophone) and Rich Brinsfield (bass).
