Sharon Jones (the undisputed current queen of soul, at least around here) and the Dap-Kings are going out on tour, but are coming nowhere near our fair city.. TEARDROPS. I missed her last time she was here, too. Anyway, BrooklynVegan has a bit of info on Daptone records, as well as a download from SJ’s new album. Highly recommended, obviously.

Some YouTube:

SJ singing Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In):

SJ sings “Things Got To Get Better”:

And a few mp3s:

Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings: How Do I Let a Good Man Down?, from Naturally
Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings: The Dap Dip, from Dap Dippin’ with Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings
Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings: Pick It Up, Lay It in the Cut, from Dap Dippin’ with Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings

love, celine
