Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings Make it Funky!

June 11th, 2007

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 Play Button Cut That Line () and the heavy wah wah guitars of Play Button Pick It Up, Lay It In The Cut (). There's also a very special cover of Janet Jackson's number one single from 1986 Play Button 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 Play Button How Do I Let A Good Man Down (). Play Button 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 Play Button 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!
