Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings – Naturally (20th Anniversary Edition)

Description

2005s Naturally was a pivotal moment in the history of soul music. It was the first Daptone album tracked at the renowned House of Soul,a recording studio handbuilt by Sharon and the rest of the Daptone family in a two story rental in Bushwick, Brooklyn. The album has goneon to sell over 200,000 records, with hit singles How Long Do I Have To Wait? and This Land is Your Land streaming in the hundreds ofmillions- staggering figures for a wholly independent release.
Up to this point Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings had yet to reach an audience outside of dingy, hole-in-the-wall clubs, dive bars, andunderground DJ parties, attended by only the most in-the-know. This was the scene where the band began to flourish, developing the soundthat would forever alter the musical landscape and set a lofty new bar for what could be considered real-deal soul music. It made Daptone ahousehold name and opened doors for countless musicians and record labels to come. Naturally sparked a renaissance that is still vibratingtoday- a testament to Sharon Jones legacy as the undisputed, reigning Queen of Heavyweight Soul.
