Music reviews of 100 Days, 100 Nights
Music Review: Classic
Rating: 5 Stars
One day I walked into a CD shop and I hear this music. I go to the clerk-"hey man, what is playing," and he hands me the case of 100 Days, 100 Nights. I check the label, thinking some engineer someplace found a reel to reel box in a closet marked "Jones, S, working master. 7/23/67," and got an indie labal to issue the album. You do hear stories like this, and I am sure I am not the first guy this happened to when they first caught Sharon Jones.
My heart leapt even futher with joy when I found out this was BRAND NEW MUSIC. Not only that; the story line got even better: 100 days was actually getting some airplay, and moving from the shelves. WOW!
What we have here, folks, is a classic soul album, recorded by a master singer. Jones and her band mix soul and the blues old school, as in, yes, this could have been recorded on 7/23/67. Jones' work is bassically what you might hear on an Areatha Franklin or Betty Levette record--she has a gospal belters voice and the music, laced with beautiful hornwork by the Dap Kings, dervies from the EXACT same influences. From what I understand, this album was recorded on tube equiptment.
This is not, as a bad critic would say "classic R&B with a modern feel. SHUT YOUR EYES AND REPEAT THIS PHRASE THREE TIMES "THERE ARE NO MODERN INFLUENCES ON 100 DAYS 100 NIGHTS! THERE ARE NO MODERN INFLUENCES ON 100 DAYS 100 NIGHTS. THERE ARE NO MODERN INFLUENCES ON 100 DAYS 100 NIGHTS"
I find it encouraging, no, heartening, that this album got made and has done well. Maybe, just maybe, people want to hear real music again, not a fake, not a derivative, the real thing.
Wouldn't it be intersting if Marrhia Carrie tried something like this. She has the pipes. Does she have the taste?
Description of 100 Days, 100 Nights
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
