New York City label Daptone does little to differentiate itself from the kind of record company that might have thrived in, say, 1968, back when soul 45s spun scratchily in bedrooms and jukeboxes. Sharon Jones, the label’s current figurehead, pumps out sweet, sweaty funk that sounds like it might have come from unheard sessions by Marva Whitney, Ann Peebles, or Marie Queenie Lyons. After channeling James Brown on their first album and Fela Kuti on their second, Sharon Jones And The Dap-Kings continue to extend their mastery of retro R&B on album number three, 100 Days, 100 Nights. This time, the band dabbles in slow-simmering gospel, and while 100 Days,
100 Nights doesn’t pop with sweaty passion like The Dap-Kings’ more
memorable work, the record retains a ripped-from-the-past vibe that’s
astonishing in and of itself. Songs like the title track, “Tell Me,” and “Something’s Changed” don’t just sound like they’ve been lost in the Stax vault for the last 40 years; they sound like they’ve matured in isolation, developing flavors that didn’t exist in 1967. Opening: The Ivan Milev Band.

‘Sharon’ as your subject line.
