Label: Daptone Records
The announcement of Sharon Jones’ final studio album, Soul of a Woman, is as bittersweet as it gets. Any kind of new music from Jones and her Kings is a gift that keeps on giving, but this one will be the last. Expect soul-stirring arrangements from one of the genre’s best backing bands as the foundation to one of its finest vocalists. This stuff is top tier, ladies and gents. Grade A, blue-chip, first-class, five-star. This one ain’t to be missed.
Daptone Records has a limited supply of the album on turquoise wax for the collectors. No word yet on quantity, but I imagine there will be quite a few to go around. Check out first single Matter of Time below and grab your vinyl after the ‘buy’ link.
