Description Their sophomore release on Brooklyn’s independent Daptone Records...ten solid tracks, punctuated by bold horns and accented with piano, vibes, and strings. The Dap-Kings road-tight rhythm section expertly frames the skeleton of a classic Soul album, breathing life into a body of songs penned exclusively for Sharon Jones’ unique voice. In turn, she reaches beyond the basic melodies into her gospel-soaked roots... --Daptone Records
