​Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings (from the album It’s a Holiday Soul Party available on Daptone Records)
Remembered for her style, her sass, and overall badassedness, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings will be in our memories as they fill the air each year with the sound of It’s a Holiday Soul Party. The album gathers originals tunes that showcase Sharon and her backing singers shouting the praises of “Big Bulbs” as The Dap-Kings jingle all the way into “Just Another Christmas Song” and give street smarts to seasonal cheer with “Ain’t No Chimneys in the Projects”. Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings play a beat that circles the world, the band keeping the theme universal when they offer a seat at the It’s a Holiday Soul Party table to “Eight Days of Hanukkah”. 
Giving a solid Soul backbeat to the weather forecast, It’s a Holiday Soul Party shifts the sleigh into high gear with a boogie beat for the prediction wishes in “White Christmas” while the album marches “Silver Bells” down city streets on a gospel groove and jazzes up the rhythms to strut out “God Rest Ye Merry Gents”. With socks discarded with care, Sharon Jones & Dap-Kings give love to dance floor feet with “Funky Drummer Boy” and stoke the home fires with smoldering Soul for “Baby Please Come Home for Christmas”.
Listen and buy the music of Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings from AMAZON
