The Brooklyn nine-piece ensemble Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings return with another brilliant excursion into soul, funk, and jazz on their latest full-length album. Brilliantly arranged, expertly performed and skilfully produced in the signature analogue style of the Daptone Records' House of Soul studios, 'I Learned The Hard Way' echos the golden eras of Motown and Stax records, but reveals also the great originality and subtlety of the band's song-writing abilities, and Sharon Jones' unparalleled singing prowess.
