Something 4 The Weekend # 48


Beyonce?

Please.

This is Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, and this is the real soul meal, babycakes...This R'n'B done right...Crunchy chicken scratch guitars doing all sorts of weird, funky stuff all over the place, have mercy...
And I may be wrong, but ain't that a baritone sax growling and belching over there to the right? It just sounds too lowdown to be a tenor, right?
And dig them horns, pleading and bleating back there, a chorus of "tell it sister" and "give it to your main man, honey!"
All and all, a band more downright mean than a gang of Ike Turners, but then ya got Ms. Sharon Jones herself, who's got more brass than Tina and two of the three Ikettes, taking total control of the situation.
"Let all the other motherfuckers knock and knock and knock, cuz right now, it's just me and you."
A little something for the weekend...
Hotcha! Hank
