    And the album release is at the Apollo!

    This should be a big record for them. I'm not predicting Amy Winehouse level but it should push them to another tier anyway. I think the fact that the Dap Kings were used as the band for the ESPN awards (not a bad gig for an independent) is indicative that folks are checking for them these days. Not to mention Sharon singing background for Lou Reed and appearing in a Denzel Washington/Forest Whitaker movie. Good times ahead for the Daps.

    thanks for posting this. They just keep getting better and better. I might need to see them live for a third time, if anything just to see the Jewbacca shuffle in person again.

    I don't necessarily disagree on a songwrting level but as a singer and a performer, Sharon crushes Aleblouse's skanky self.

    great track. my thing is, can't we all agree that panning drums hard into one channel is

    or, not a good listen

    I seek the mono for that reason a lot of times.

    ps - sharon + dap kings outdoors in harlem last summer was
    she did a whole routine where she went through all the dance crazes of the late 60's. blazing burning fire.

    the fact that the Dap Kings were used as the band for the ESPN awards

    that's why it sounded so good. I was wondering who the band was.

    Same here. I had an idea it was them because they played some of Sharon's tunes but I wasn't sure.

    I don't agree with the

    but I do agree that this ain't a hit record. It'd work great as an album track, but the tempo change is kinda unnecessary, and doesn't make it easy for DJs to program, so it may not be one for the dancefloor. None of this should be read as a value judgement on the quality of the music, which is well up to snuff, but little things like the hard-panning of the drums and horns kinda suggest that this is as much an exercise in authenticity as anything else.

    its OK i will be checking for the lp as a big fan of miss jones.

    as for miss whinehouse Ive only heard "rehab" and it mustn't have left any impression as Ive made no effort to check out my girlfriends CD as she bought the lp.
