Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings - Naturally

2005’s Naturally was a pivotal moment in the history of soul music. It was the first Daptone album tracked at the renowned "House of Soul,” a recording studio handbuilt by Sharon and the rest of the Daptone family in a two story rental in Bushwick, Brooklyn. The album has gone on to sell over 200,000 records, with hit singles “How Long Do I Have to Wait” and “This Land is Your Land” streaming in the hundreds of millions—staggering figures for a wholly independent release.

Up to this point Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings had yet to reach an audience outside of dingy, hole-in-the-wall clubs, dive bars, and underground DJ parties, attended by only the most in-the-know. But this was the scene where the band began to flourish, developing the sound that would forever alter the musical landscape and set a lofty new bar for what could be considered real-deal soul music. It made Daptone a household name and opened doors for countless musicians and record labels to come. Naturally sparked a renaissance that is still vibrating today—a testament to Sharon Jones’ legacy as the undisputed, reigning Queen of heavyweight soul.

This 20th Anniversary edition is completely remastered and includes second LP with never before heard instrumental mixes of all tracks.
