Li sobre a Sharon Jones terça passada, na Ilustrada. Surtei, claro: Sharon e sua banda são só Os Responsáveis pela levada soul das músicas de Amy Winehouse.
Clipping: "após ouvir os discos de Jones, Winehouse e o produtor Mark Ronson foram até NY e contrataram os Dap-Kings, a banda de Jones, para tocar em `Back to Black'(...) O que chamou a atenção de Winehouse, Mark Ronson e tantos outros é a sonoridade única da banda e de Jones. `Fazemos soul music como era feita no anos 60 e 70', diz Jones".
Who?
Felizmente, voltou à carreira musical em 96.
Ano passado, na onda do sucesso de Amy, lançou "100 Days, 100 nights".
Faz parte da Daptone Records (www.daptonerecords.com), que grava apenas discos analógicos e dedicados exclusivamente à música negra (aguardem novidades que assim que der eu vou procurar o que mais de bom que eles têm lá).
Vamos ao que interessa? Prepare-se. A voz da moça é poderosa.
Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)
(Mickey Newbury)
(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)
I woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)
I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawlin' out as I was a-crawlin' in
I got up so tight I couldn't unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)
Someone painted "April Fool" in big black letters on a "Dead End" sign
I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind
Eight miles outta Memphis and I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
I said I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Yeah yeah oh-yeah
