Topic: Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings

I saw them a year ago at a festival and totally dug them. For sure the real thing if you got soul.

Haven't seem them live yet, but on the recommendation of my friendly bartender, I checked out one of their CDs that was at the library. I think the title is "One Hundred Days and One Hundred Nights". One of the CDs is done like a live, radio broadcast and the DJs signature line is

"You're listening to Binky Griptight and the ghetto funk soul power hour." "WDAP live from Brooklyn."

Funny stuff. Funky and Greasy just like it should be.

Dave the bartender went to see them open up for the Dave Mathews Band but missed
Sharon and the Dap Kings. He did call me to tell me see got to see Warren Haynes sit in and jam with DMB that night. Thanks for the link to the video.
