The late Sharon Jones was truly a dynamic singer, solidly in the vein of 60’s r’n’b and soul. Her band were stupendous too. If you like great 60’s Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Otis Redding etc, you will like this.
“Only three albums into a recording career spanning six years between 2002-2007, Daptone records has complied a collection of the best songs by Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, adding a previously unreleased track, and a recording from a 45 rpm single.
You'd be hard pressed to think this is not a prime example of what Jones truly is, a pure rhythm & blues singer who can stand tall and proud next to Ruth Brown, Bettye LaVette, or even Aretha Franklin in her heyday. Jones possesses a clean, honest, solid sounding voice that never wavers, and belts out song after song without sounding idiosyncratic or selling out to more commercial considerations. The variety of retro-soul on this collection moves into Stax, Philly, and Motown territory while retaining Jones' own originality, while the small horn section in the backdrop plays immaculately simple and heartfelt charts.
None of the tunes are marginal or filler, making for a definitive (so far) collection for fans or new devotees of a great singer in a time capsule of a bygone era."-AllMusic
