Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings - 100 Days, 100 Nights Reviews

Stax......Motown.......Atlantic.....we all remember the names of the labels that gave us the great soul sound of the 50's & 60's. That classic analog sound with a tight band made for some of the greatest song's that still play on to this very day.Speaking of today that sound has proved just how timeless it really is and how much it is greatly appreciated.

Amy Winehouse's Back To Black took most of it's sound from that time in music and the band that helped her pull it off was the Dap Kings. Long before Amy their was Sharon Jones belting out her version of the simple yet brilliant sound of yesterday....

If you like old style R &B from the 60's and early 70's , give " 100 Days , 100 Nights"  a listen .

The title song of the same name  is reminiscent of songs of that era and you will feel that you have been transported in a time machine back to that golden era of R&B. There are even some background singers echoing the words " 100 days " that provides an old school feel .

The 60's sound seems popular again with the arrival of other artists like Duffy who reminds me a lot of Dusty Springfield , and this CD is in the same genre .

Sharon Jones has an incredible voice  - it is rich , husky, sassy...
