    The New Queen of Soul

    By Kent Goldman  Sep 25, 2006

    Pros: Phenomenal voice, great groove

    Cons: None

    If Aretha Franklin and Maceo Parker ever had a love child, it would be Sharon Jones. She's got a phenomenal voice, delivers an authentic early 70's funkadelic and knows how to put on a great live show. I discovered this album after the lead s...inger of My Morning Jacket listed the track "How Long Do I Have to Wait For You?" as one of his favorite songs of 2006. Unbelievable attention to detail. If you ever have a chance to see her live... Do it. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Naturally

  • All Music Guide

    Following up her excellent 2002 debut, Sharon Jones stays true to the formula she laid down on her early releases and Dap Dippin' by presenting another session of fullforce funk that pays homage to the genre's glory years without coming off as contrived. The deep funk revival continues with Jones belting out commanding vocal performances that are uncompromisingly forceful yet full of rich, soulful emotion. It's a session worthy of being found in any beatminer's record collection and any funk enthusiast's basket of obscurities and rarities. Her cover of "This Land Is Your Land" is equally as impressive, as she somehow takes the song from being an American folk standard and turns it into a fullon sonic explosion. Fans of her earlier work will no doubt find great joy in this followup, and those seeking Jones out for the first time certainly will not be disappointed in what they find.

Biography

Sharon Jones

Although singer Sharon Jones first began attracting attention during the late '90s, her smoky, soulful voice and blistering grooves harked back three decades earlier to the heyday of funk, evoking the music of James Brown protégés like Marva Whitney and Lynn Collins with uncanny precision; not surprising, given that the veteran Jones was well into her 40s by the time ... Read more
