Summary: amazing album
Comment: Dap Dippin has heart, soul and passion. Definitely a must buy for soul affectionatios...an album you can listen to from the start to finish. only one criticiscm; annoying wait for a "hidden" track at the end of the cd that doesn't hit until like 6-7 minutes into the album.

Summary: So funky it hurts...
Comment: I bought this disc because of the reputation that Sharon Jones has for an incredible live show and for keeping funk alive, and I wasn't disappointed. This band is so great on this CD that I can't wait to catch them live. I also can't wait for the next party I go to where I can crank this. The Dap Kings remind me of the J.B.'s with their percussive rhythm guitar and groovin rhythm section. Sharon Jones really knows how to lay it down too; their version of Janet Jackson's "What Have You Done For Me Lately" is so funky it has to be heard to be believed. This is one of those CD's that I bought on a whim but has prompted me to buy everything this group has ever put out. This is the BEST CD I bought in 2005, and believe me, I bought a lot of them. This is one of the hardest hitting funk albums I've ever heard and one of my favorites of all time, right up there with Funkadelic, JB, and Curtis Mayfield. If you are a fan of funk music, get this CD and help Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings keep funk alive. You won't regret it.

Summary: The only thing better is a live show!
Comment: MISS Sharon Jones, Miss SHARON Jones! As soon as Binky Griptite introduces this diva of funk, my backend already starts doin' the dap dip. Sharon Jones offers an energy on this funky album that is a phenomenon in itself; the deep groove of the Dap Kings keeps you moving the whole night.
While I whole-heartedly recommend the CD, nothing is better than a live show: Tour dates and locations are posted at www.daptonerecords.com.

Summary: Guaranteed heavy heavy HEAVY!
Comment: Vicki Anderson, Lyn Collins, Marva Whitney.
Is Sharon Jones part of this line of ladies that James Brown produced in the late 60s/ early 70s, and kept her stuff in the can for all these years?
NO!
She's out there cookin' NOW with a great band and recording in NYC for Daptone Records. If you're into any of the ladies mentioned above, or you've heard anything else on Daptone or Desco, YOU NEED THIS!
