Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, Best LP in 2010

If you like old style 60s soul then this record is a must-have. Terrific sound quality. Sort of like the 60s black female vocalist and large backing band with horn section.

It's basically a local label out of Brooklyn, New York who does the band and others-Daptone Recordings.

One of the best records I have heard all year. Available on LP and CD.

Also featured in the latest Stereophile.

I'm glad people are taking notice of Jones and the Dap Kings. I have all their albums, and I must say that each album just gets better and better.

Traded emails with a good friend in Brooklyn and he says they are even better live.

Yeah. I was really excited when I saw this thread because we have similar taste. But I'm not a fan of funk, and I don't think her voice is stunning enough to overcome that sedated funk influence. I'd also like a richer and more robust instrumental backing. I've been listening to too much Dusty in Memphis lately, a lofty standard to live up to.

Just scooped up the album from J&R Music today. I have listened to it over and over since I got home! Brilliant! I won't miss her(and the Dap Kings) when they are at Prospect Park later in the summer!!

I hate it when Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings roll into Toronto for a gig and I am stuck somewhere else. I have their earlier albums and I love the old school sound, I have to pick up the new one.
