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, following it up two years later with
100 Days, 100 Nights. Jones also had a bit part The Great
Debaters as the singer Lila. A new studio effort, I
Learned the Hard Way, appeared in 2010.
