we *heart* sharon!
since we spend most of our days making jewelry in our studio, we either listen to npr or some good tunes. since all this election stuff is already starting to get old we have been relying on the tunes. lately we have been rocking the new album by sharon jones and the dap kings, “100 days 100 nights”.
sharon is known as the “female james brown”. when i first heard their cd titled, “natually”, i honestly thought it was music recorded in the 60’s. little did i know, they currently record and i even had a chance to see them live at bimbo’s in sf. if you ever have a chance to see her live YOU MUST GO! you will not be disappointed.
we heard a fresh air interview of sharon and learned that she used to be a prison guard at rikers island in ny. now she makes a living doing what she loves. now that’s inspirational! sharon rocks.
