100 Days 2cd * Use Dap012 *
Australian exclusive bonus disc edition: strictly limited to 3000 copies! Sharon jones and the dap-kings blow all expectations with the follow up to their acclaimed second album naturally. Entitled 100 days 100 nights, this new album is sophisticated without surrendering to technology. The sound is still slammed to 8 track tape at their bushwick, brooklyn hideout but they sure know how to coax the maximum amount of velvet out of those ancient microphones. 100 days 100 nights dips between hot funk, soul, rhythm & blues and draws on sharons deep gospel influences to create a masterful take on a classic sound. This album takes the groove beyond previous efforts and must place the dap-kings at the very head of the funk/soul pack. Sharon too is on the move, she recently toured with lou reed as a member of his berlin ensemble, and has just completed a small singing/speaking role opposite denzel washington and forrest whitaker in the film 'the great debaters'. Limited to 3000 copies only, the deluxe edition comes in an 8 panel digipak and features a bonus disc; the 'binky griptite ghetto funk power hour'. A mock radio show hosted by dap-kings emcee, binky griptite and featuring slab after slab of hot daptone tracks!
