Artist of the Week: Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings


In a rush to empty my monthly eMusic account credits before they turn back into pumpkins, or magic beans, or whatever, I noticed that Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings have issued a new album. 100 Days, 100 Nights is, if it's even possible, better than my other favorite voyage into Detroit and Stax Soul-land, Naturally.

Jones sounds even more confident, and comfortable, on this album. Not to take anything away from the brilliance of Naturally, but 100 Days, 100 Nights knocks me out.

Possibly my favorite cut is the last one, Answer Me, a gospel number which shows us that Jones isn't just a pretender--she's the real deal. Anyone who loves soul simply must have a healthy helping of Jones and her Dap-Kings, pronto.

P.S. How about that album cover art, too, eh?
