So a good friend put me on to Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings recently….where have I been? Well come to find out that she has only been putting out her own music since 1996. Before she started to be recognized she was a corrections officer at Sing Sing prison located in Ossining New York.

She has recently put out a new album on Daptone Records titled “100 Days, 100 Nights” and is solid all the way through just like the rest of her albums.

She is also on tour, so check to see if she’ll be coming to a town near you.

So I just saw the movie The Darjeeling Limited, great movie, gotta go check it out, but towards the end this Rolling Stones song comes on and it’s one of their that I had totally forgotten about and now I can’t get it out of my head.
