More often than not, these covers were recorded by request - commissioned for placement in movies, television programs, tribute albums, or for samples. This album compiles some of their most popular as well as never-before-heard renditions. Though the band has mostly built their career on a prolific catalog of originals, these forays into other artists' compositions lay bare their gift for arrangement and the unmatched studio prowess that earned them their reputation as The Baddest Band in the Land.

Soul? Christmas Soul! Here you go, kids: Sharon Jones' debut holiday song! In this self-penned little jingle-jangler, Sharon takes us back to her childhood, where as a young girl in the projects of Brooklyn she wondered how Santa was ever going to bring her any toys when clearly, "There Ain't No Chimneys in the Projects." As she soon finds out, the true miracle of Christmas was no fat man shimmying down heating ducts, but rather the love with which her own mother had been secretly tucking those presents under that tree. Awww. With a little help from Sharon's backup singers and some tasty violin runs offered up by the Bushwick Philharmonic, the Dap-Kings lock into their usual nasty little pocket and the groove blossoms like a soulful red pointsettia beneath Sharon's story. The flip gives Daptone mouth-man Binky Griptite an instrumental taste over which he lays down a heartfelt holiday message of tolerance and togetherness. Right on, Santa!

It hovers in every elevator, floats through every grocery store, and whines out of ever y receiver as we wait on hold with the cable company. Though there are dozens of standards in the canon - and we know ever y one of them all too well - they all seem to have one thing in common: they're not Dap-Kings funk jams about Hanukkah!

 

Ever wonder what it would sound like to hear Sharon Jones sing about latkes and Maccabees? Ever rip apart your record shelves looking for that perfect mixtape song for your Jewish friend? Ever get sick of the ONE Adam Sandler song that's supposed to miraculously last us eight days? Here is your answer: "8 Days" of soul packed carefully into 7 inches of wax. Happy Hanukkah!
