Release Notes:
By the sound of them, you would think Sharon Jones & the
Dap-Kings started making funk-threaded soul music together
in the 1960s. Few devotedly retro acts are as convincing.
Few singers as skilled as Sharon Jones at stuffing notes
with ache and meaning might be willing to invest in a
sound so fully occupied by the likes of Bettye LaVette and
Tina Turner in the Ike years, too. But what Jones brings
to the funkified table has legs of its own -- eight of
them, to be exact -- and they belong to Binky Griptite,
Bugaloo Velez, Homer Steinweiss, and Dave Guy -- her
Dap-Kings.Jones, like James Brown, was born in Augusta,
GA; there she sang in her church choir, and from fellow
parishioners picked up the kind of back-patting she needed
to convince her to go mainstream. As a teenager, she moved
with her family to Brooklyn, where she immersed herself in
1970s disco and funk with an eye toward cutting a record
of her own. Instead, studios came calling and with them
steady work -- by her twenties, Jones was turning in
backup vocals for gospel, soul, disco and blues artists,
most of it uncredited. In the '80s, however, Jones' sound
was deemed unfashionable, and instead of pushing ahead
with her soul diva's dream she went back to church
singing. She also took a job as a corrections officer at
New York's Rykers Island. It wouldn't be until 1996 that
Desco Records would rediscover Jones' sweat-basted,
lived-in talent. With that label's house band, the Soul
Providers, Jones released several singles in the late
'90s; their warmth and genuineness propelled the act
across the Atlantic, and Jones picked up a moniker -- the
queen of funk -- that stuck. Jones released her first
full-length with the Dap-Kings, Dap Dippin' with Sharon
Jones & the Dap-Kings, after signing with Daptone Records
in 2002. Years of touring behind it, as well as cutting
singles with other artists (including Greyboy) ensued. In
2005, Jones reteamed with the Dap-Kings for the winking
groovefest that is Naturally. With it, Sharon Jones & the
Dap-Kings proved that, no matter how late in the game,
they are hell-bent on breathing life back into boiled-down
funk and soul.
