100 Days 100 Nights [ECD] - Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings

Advantages: EXCELLENT ALBUM
Disadvantages: NONE

...Everyone should remember Rickie Lee Jones for the famous songs ‘Chuck E’s in Love’, and ‘Easy Money’.

Advantages: Brillian Songwriting, Feels Immediatley Familiar, Norah Jones feel about it.
Disadvantages: Marmite Syndrome voice seems to induce Love it or hate emotions

...This is an album I brought home expecting family and friends to congratulate me on a stylish choice; not entirley the case. The albumn is a bluesy relaxed and soulful piece or work Ideal for a Sunday evening or a Friday night. If you appreciate Norah Jones and want somehting similar to give your chill out time some variety then this is the album. This is, as I say, a Marmite albumn and not an aquired taste, you will love it immediatley or hate it immediatley. Listen to one song, you'll know. If you are a highly stressed person, this will seriously unwind you. Although it has a very lothalgic pace it is not a depressing album. You will most likely find this familiar and be sure that you have been hearing the songs for years. A must have addition to any collection claiming to cover the spectrum. Expect big things from this girl.... Read review
