Free Music Notes for 100 Days, 100 Nights

Free Music Review: STELLAR
Hit: 5 Stars

My girlfriend said that Sharon Jones is what happens when Tina Turner and James Brown have an illegitimate child and raise it funky. While I don't know if I can go QUITE that far, I will say that it's probably not the most entirely horrible description of what Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings embody. They are kind of a complete throwback band with a throwback singer. I guess the right word is ANALOG.

They aren't a digital band. They have horns and guitars and a funky sound. The band is the reason that Mark Ronson or Amy Winehouse sound good, and also happens to be part of another stellar band that is known as the Budos Band (there's a few less Dap Kings than Budos Band members). Their sound could be likened to a modern Booker T and The MG's. A great number of talented, funk-minded individuals more concerned about making a great sound than looking good doing it... Not to say that they don't look good doing it too...

The album starts off with the title track, 100 Days, 100 Nights, and it gives me a nostalgic feeling like I should be in a smokey jazz club somewhere that I might see Etta James... After that, the album just blazes on.

Most of the tracks are tales of love and life like the classics of old. They're humble but self assured. Nobody's Baby, the second track is a bit of a liberated look at being in a relationship with just a great riff and sound.

My favorite tracks are Be Easy, Let Them Knock and Answer Me, but picking a favorite here is kind of a moot point because every track is stellar. In fact, all of Sharon's albums are really good, but I'd say that 100 Days, 100 Nights is my favorite of her works because it's the most consistent and there are really no tracks that miss the mark.

100 Days, 100 Nights Poster

100 Days, 100 Nights comes with a FREE bonus CD titled "Binky Griptite's GhettoFunkPowerHour". It is an HOUR LONG mixtape-style compilation that includes highlights from the entire Daptone catalog, with Dap-Kings MC/guitarist Binky Griptite providing commentary between songs. Talk about your added value!
In the new millennium, soul has become big business again. But despite succulent re-issues from labels like Astralwerks and Light in the Attic, the resurgence of seasoned soul sisters like Bettye LaVette, and the volcanic popularity of new-soul crooners like Amy Winehouse, the champions of the new generation's purist strain are Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings. After the often upbeat, always exciting sounds of 2005's Naturally, the band's next outing comes off as a slightly more tempered affair. The title track opens with an indefatigable statement of purpose, dropping into a late-stage, sub-halftime groove so Jones can fully "take [her] time" lamenting her missing man. Elsewhere, her voice effortless treads the heights and depths of its range with timeless aplomb ("Be Easy," "When the Other Foot Drops, Uncle," "Answer Me"). The Dap Kings themselves have reached a pocket-digging near-perfection, recent collaborations with Kanye West, Lily Allen, and the aforementioned Winehouse, yielding the sounds of a band at the top of its game. At times, these tracks court the uninspired flavor of the wholly derivative, but in all, 100 Days, 100 Nights makes for a very welcome addition to any avid listener's contemporary soul music library. --Jason Kirk
