Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings


I just recently started listening to Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings' latest album, I Learned the Hard Way, that came out in April of this year.  Just like their previous album, 100 Days, 100 Nights, this album is great from beginning to end.  Sharon Jones has such a powerful voice and the Dap-Kings are awesome.

Recently, at a festival in a Chicago suburb, a teen band (Northbrook Garage) performed a cover version of Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings' "She Ain't a Child No More".  They do a good job.  Here is their version along with the original.
