Our Take
Our Take
Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings' latest offering, "I Learned The Hard Way," is like a vintage bottle of fine wine - smooth, soulful, and oh-so satisfying. The album kicks off with the sassy title track, setting the tone for what's to come: a powerhouse vocalist backed by a tight-knit band of musicians who know how to groove.
Jones' vocals are as electrifying as ever, effortlessly gliding between gritty, gut-wrenching ballads and funky, upbeat numbers. The Dap-Kings provide the perfect accompaniment, with their horn section blasting out soulful melodies and their rhythm section laying down a solid groove that will have you tapping your feet and bopping your head in no time.
Standout tracks include the infectious "Better Things," which showcases Jones' powerhouse vocals and the band's impressive musical chops, and the emotional ballad "Mama Don't Like My Man," which sees Jones laying her heart on the line in a way that will tug at your heartstrings.
Overall, "I Learned The Hard Way" is a testament to Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings' musical prowess and their ability to keep the soul music flame burning bright. So, grab a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings take you on a musical journey that you won't soon forget. Cheers!
