How do you like your soul-funk? Well, no matter how you like it,
Sharon Jones
and The Dap Kings have got it covered. You can't help but get
up and shake it when hearing one second of this infectious funk.
features classic retro style funk including the James Brown
inspired
Cut That Line
(
) and the heavy wah wah guitars of
Pick It Up, Lay It In The Cut
(
). There's also a very
special cover of Janet Jackson's number one single from 1986
What Have You Done For Me Lately?
(
).
Sharon Jones and The
Dap Kings' version is produced to make it sound like it was
recorded in the 1960's so you'd never guess it was a Janet Jackson
tune.
features more retro style soul-funk including the Amie Street
favorite
How Do I Let A Good Man Down
(
).
How Long Do I Have To Wait For You?
(
) has bumpin' groove with a conversation between the
guitars and horns. A Sharon Jones record would not be complete
without an unpredictable cover or in this case Woodie Guthrie's
classic
This Land Is Your Land
(
). This version is much dirtier than the song you
learned in Kindergarten. It begins with a dark horn intro played
solely by the horn section and then kicks into a slow-funk groove.
So no matter how you like your funk,
Sharon Jones and The
Dap Kings are gonna bring it to you! Hit me!
