This group's debut album was awarded no less than 5 stars in the Sunday Star Times, with Grant Smithies describing it as "the best funk release of the last decade".
When Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings take to the stage with their blazing funk, hot dance steps and matching suits, it is as if someone lit the fuse on a keg of soul dynamite! Backed by the tightest, roughest funk band on the scene, the Soul Sister no. 1 utilises her smoky sweet voice to captivate and bring on the need to shake yo' booty!
The group's debut album 'Dap Dippin' With Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings' was awarded no less than 5 stars in the Sunday Star Times, with Grant Smithies describing it as "the best funk release of the last decade", going on to describe Sharon singing "in a steamy, no nonsense holler that sounds like a cross between James Brown and Etta James" while "behind her bubbles a spicy southern stew of heavy drums, horny horns, basslines so dirty you need a shower afterwards and chanka-chank guitars that go straight to your hips like too much butter". Well, you can't say fairer than that, folks!
