MP3: The Mighty Imperials
I really don't need to write too much about today's posts. Bottom line is that the new Mighty Imperials record is titled Thunder Chicken and the promo copy instructs you to "File Under: Raw-ass funk, heavy gut-bucket soul, or generally having a good time." But just to avoid confusion, you should know that The Mighty Imperials, although their music suggests otherwise, are not from the 60s or 70s, but are actually members of the Daptone in-house band The Dap Kings, and together with crooners Sharon Jones and Joseph Henry are the undisputed champions of NYC/Brooklyn funk and soul in 2004. This is dust-covered, 45-funk that'll cut through even the most humid August heat.
