CD Reviews
NOT AN OFFICIAL, LICENSED DAPTONE CD - DO NOT BUY THIS!
Stevie Rey | 03/31/2010
(1 out of 5 stars)
"Please do not buy this CD. It is being sold illegally and does not benefit Sharon Jones or Daptone Records."
NOT A PROPER PRODUCT
A. Narrain | North Carolina, US | 05/12/2010

"I saw this band live last night. This cd is not an authorized recording and has terrible sound - it does not do the band justice. The band only has 4 albums. Do not buy this, but one of the proper releases. I am really disappointed in Amazon for allowing this to be sold on this site: it's a reminder that we need to be vigilant about ensuring we get the right content."
The greatest black female vocalist of the 2000's

"Quite simply Sharon Jones is the greatest female vocalist right now. Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings have been around for over ten years at least, thank god she is getting the play she so rightly deserves."
Struts the musical stuff we love!

"Oh how great they are! Found them during the opening music for the movie "Up in the Air" with the grooviest arrangement of "This Land is Your Land" ever. In the history of that song. Ever. So I hunted them down, on Amazon of course, and read the reviews and listened to them on YouTube too, just to be thorough. How wonderful. The arrangements, the musical skill, Sharon's voice! It is just the best sound ever. Having grown up with the classic Motown sound, they brought be back to the good-old-days all reinvented and perfected. You will not be disappointed with any and all of their music. Crank it up to eleven and be wow'd!"
