Serious Soul. Fantastic Funk. Righteous R&B. Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings prove once again classic soul, funk and r&b is alive and well - at least on their stage. Jones belts it out and the band grooves sublime. Drenched horns, bass, gtr, organ, back vcls, drums, tambourine with some Deep and Penetrating lyrics. Sublime stuff!!! Play it all. No FCC’s.
*My Favorites*: All.
1. (3:32) MId. Loud and strong, kickass horns, back vcl. Serious stuff!!
2. (3:31) Mid. Funky w/ steady beat, tambourine, back vcl. Killer.
3. (3:03) Mid. Mellower, classic soul.
4. (3:45) Mid. Killer percussion, funky r&b, great horns.
5. (3:11) Mid. Mean marchin’, funky struttin’ w/ Jones testifyin’.
6. (2:24) Mid. Mellower, sugary, syrupy soulful ballad. Beautiful.
7. (3:27) Slow / Mid. Walkin’ sock-hop-ish, r&b.
8. (3:22) Mid. Slight Slim Harpo vibe, funky gtr, bass, steady perc.
9. (3:25) Mid / Fast. Drivin’ beat, horns, vibes, back vcls. Killer.
10. (4:03) Slow / Mid. Soulful ballad, very nice.
