I got just about everything from Daptone, and this is a mighty fine collection from the label that bring you soul and funk thats so juicy it GOT TO be squeezed! Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings takes centre stage with seven songs, and you get modern soul/funk classics such as How long do I have to wait for you, Got a thing on my mind and Stranded in your love. Sharon Jones! WHAT A WOMAN! The Dap-Kings! WHAT A BAND! Miss Jones is a masterful soul vocalist with impeccable control, and she got that raw, sweet gospel-trained voice that hit you somewhere deep. This mama is cookin with ease! Some tracks are on LP for the first time, and amongst them youll find fantastic songs from Charles Bradley, Binky Griptite, Sharon Jones and Lee Fields. Other outstanding songs by Naomi Shelton & The Gospel Queens and Menahan Street Band makes this an essential buy for funk, soul and groove merchants. The only thing I hold against it, is that I would have choosen other titles by The Budos Band. I think songs like Origin of man, T.I.B.W.F and Aynotchesh Yererfu are a lot stronger than the ones picked here. You could say the same about a couple of the Dap-Kings tracks, but thats minor criticism, because this is a regular goldmine, so you could just as well shoot cotton bullets at the moon. Famous last words: If you are unfamiliar with Daptone, and for some strange reason find it hard to trust a man who entitles himself Dr. Funk Alligatoor(heh heh!), here are some other stuff I love: James Brown, Fela Kuti, John Lee Hooker, Nina Simone, Tom Waits, Pavement, Pixies, PJ Harvey, Beck, The Wu-Tang Clan, Bill Callahan and Nick Cave. vinylrecords.ca/daptone-gold-sharon-jones-fields-budos-band-funk-comp-poster-p-17596.html
