All Music Guide
Veteran soul musician Bobby Womack releases The Bravest Man in the Universe, which marks his first solo album in almost a decade. Having struggled through drug addiction and great tragedy, Womack has written some of the greatest R&B songs, such as 'Across 110th Street' and 'Woman's Gotta Have It', and was inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2009.
