On their third LP, 100 Days, 100 Nights, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings step even further back in time—leaving behind the heavy 70s soul of their first two records to explore a rawer, funk-laced sound straight out of the Motown and Stax playbooks. The result is an album that’s both reverent and invigorating. Jones commands attention with her powerhouse gospel-influenced vocals, while The Dap-Kings inject just the right blend of grit, groove, and subtle modern touches to keep things from sounding like museum pieces.

Fresh off collaborations with Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen, The Dap-Kings come equipped with even tighter chops and a refined edge that helps elevate these tracks beyond retro imitation. The horn arrangements, sharp rhythm work, and warm analog production make 100 Days, 100 Nights feel alive and urgent. Whether you’re a longtime soul fan or new to the genre, this album proves Sharon Jones was one of the best doing it—and this band was built to back her up.
