Soul Sister Funk. This album features hard, hard funk with sassy soul sister vocals from a former gospel singer Sharon Jones. She begs, she screams, she yells, and she testifies backed up by the MGs/Mar-Keys style Daptone house band, the Dap-Kings. The sound is very much late 60s hard southern funk (Stax/James Brown), although this is a new recording--not a reissue of old stuff. This is the first release from Daptone Records, the new label put together by Gabriel Roth (one of the co-founders of the legendary Desco label) & Neal Sugarman (of the Sugarman Three). I have been waiting for this to come out for months and I have not been disappointed. Needless to say, all tracks are highly recommended. I would suggest starting with tracks 3, 8, or 9 as these are my favorites but there is not a bad track on here so play them all. 1) James Brown style spoken intro 2) Bouncy up-tempo funk 3)* Sassy cover of Janet Jackson song, with hard funky guitar and horns 4) Spoken intro, mid-tempo dance number 5) Driving, beggin' funk 6) Unlisted track, possibly called "Cut That Line"? Groovin' Funk 7) Syncopated funk, strong vocals. 8)* DAAAAAAMNN! Sweet soul ballad. If lovin' this song is wrong, I don't want to be right. 9)* Mid-tempo with powerful afro-groove horns 10) JB flavored party funk with a harder electric wa-wa sound 11) Hidden track, doesn't start until -2:59.
