Now It's not really a secret that I love funk and soul, specifically from the 60s and 70s.
and last year I posted an enthusiasm for Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings' last album 100 Day, 100 Nights, but this time I thnk this might be the best album I will hear this year.
There is such a strong connection to the music that it sounds like a b-side to something much bigger from the golden age of Marvin Gaye, Tina Turner, Al Green, and Aretha Franklin.
For those of you who don't know who she is, a quick reference is she was the lady, assisted by the Dap Kings whom sang the cover of Woody Guthrie "This Land is Your Land" at the beginning of the film Up In The Air.
The authenticity and integrity of this album is so fucking genuine and appreciative of its elders that I question my own knowledge of how far the genre has traveled.
I'm moving this from a "don't buy" to a "sell". I'm kidding, this is a fantastic album.
