Following up her excellent 2002 debut, Sharon Jones stays true to the formula she laid down on her early releases and Dap Dippin' by presenting another session of full-force funk that pays homage to the genre's glory years without coming off as contrived.

Well, the day has come, my fellow moggers. That’s right, today I met my end. I was sitting outside enjoying a beautiful day, when my mom came out to bring me my mail. I saw a large envelope, and I knew immediately what it contained. I was feeling a mix of excitement and a slight sadness at my untimely, yet imminent death. The mix was great and contained many things I never would have though.
