MP3: Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings
Been really busy preparing some portfolio stuff, so apologies for not posting in the last 4 days. I will be back regularly starting today and have accumulated so much stuff, that I am set for at least 2 weeks, so please check back each day for new stuff from One Be Lo, Sage Francis, Toytronic, Thievery Corporation, Low, Landau, Merck Records and much more. Today's post however presents the inimitable Sharon Jones, who I proudly hail as the current Queen of contemporary soul music. With her band, The Dap Kings, Ms. Jones has indeed invented a time machine, with vocals so gifted and production so authentic, that it is nearly impossible to believe you are listening to music made in 2004. Funky like The Meters, poignant like Etta James and as nostalagic as a '57 Chevy, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings have exhumed the holy ghost of Motor City's most respected crooners. Coming out soon on Daptone Records, fans of dusty groove and soul would be remiss to pass on this.
