Following up her excellent 2002 debut,
Sharon Jones stays true to the formula she laid down on her early releases and
Dap Dippin' by presenting another session of full-force
funk that pays homage to the genre's glory years without coming off as contrived. The deep
funk revival continues with
Jones belting out commanding vocal performances that are uncompromisingly forceful yet full of rich, soulful emotion. It's a session worthy of being found in any beat-miner's record collection and any
funk enthusiast's basket of obscurities and rarities. Her cover of
"This Land Is Your Land" is equally as impressive, as she somehow takes the song from being an American
folk standard and turns it into a full-on sonic explosion. Fans of her earlier work will no doubt find great joy in this follow-up, and those seeking
Jones out for the first time certainly will not be disappointed in what they find.
