The 1001 nights of Sharon Jones
So here it is, Sharon Jones and her infamous Dap Kings are back. Sit back and relax, close your eyes... shazam! You're back in 1963! The production could be Spector's, well, except it's in stereo though!
Of course, one can feel the huge influence of Mr James Brown and all his singing ladies (When the other foot drops, Let them knock). But also, think Tina Turner. Think John Barry (Tell me).Think Burt Bacharach. Not enough? Hey, why are you still in frontof your laptop instead of running out to the next record store and buy the album??? This album, 100 days, 100 nights is definetely a must-have, I mean it.
Among all the latest soul revival divas(let's say Amy Winehouse, Nicole Willis, Corinne Bailey Rae), Sharon Jones got her own sit , no doubt about it!
