Customer Reviews
Fabulous.
This is one of the best cd's I've purchased in years. Sharon Jones has this incredible voice- it sounds a bit weathered, like she's been there, done that. The band is really tight, and I'm not sure how long they've been playing together, but it sounds fantastic. They have an old school Motown/ funk thing going on, and all of the songs are really fun and energetic. I've been running my mouth off about this cd to my friends, so I figure I may as well do it on Amazon as well. Enjoy!
How can you not dig it?
Well, if you aren't into old school R&B/soul, then you probably won't dig it. If you at all find sizzling horns, funky bass lines, and female vocalists with voices from God at all listenable, then you will love this CD. For a point of reference--Amy Winehouse used the Dap Kings as backup for most of her debut (Back to Black). Take that band, better songs, and a stronger vocalist with soul to spare, and you get Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. I don't have their first two CDs, but they're on my wish list.
