Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings: Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Rendition Was In)

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Rendition Was In) Daptone Records It was such sad news that Sharon Jones died at just the age of 60. She was such a vital performer and her music – and the way she presented it – was all about joy. One […]

Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings: Soul of a Woman

Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings Soul of a Woman DAPTONE Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings were, to me, first and foremost a live act – an incredible live act – and she (and expert soul-stylists, The Dap Kings) were never quite able to capture that sort of magic in the studio. She was […]

Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings: Give The People What They Want

Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings Give The People What They Want DAPTONE It’s unlikely that the fifth album by Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings shares anything in common with the eighteenth album by The Kinks (apart from a title) but anyway, here we go, we’re three lines into a review now and I […]

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings: Soul Time!

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings Soul Time! Shock Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings exist for the live experience and with each new album there’s a feeling that the band will never capture that energy from the stage and place it on the page. I’m unsure as to why they have not simply released a cracking […]
