Naturally (20th Anniversary)
20th Anniversary Remastered album with instrumental mixes of all tracks!
2005ās Naturally was a pivotal moment in the history of soul music. The album has sold over 200,000 copies, with hit singles āHow Long Do I Have to Waitā and āThis Land is Your Landā streaming in the hundreds of millionsāstaggering figures for a wholly independent release. It was also the genesis for the Dap-Kingsā collaboration with Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse, the fruits of which having a lasting, indelible influence on soul, R&B and pop music in general.
Up to this point, Sharon Jones & 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. 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.
Recording for Naturally began in 2004 and holds the distinction of being the first Daptone session at the renowned "House of Soulāāa recording studio handbuilt by Sharon and the rest of the Daptone family in a two story rental in Bushwick, Brooklyn. (Sharon famously tackled much of the electrical wiringĀ herself.)
Around this time, the Dap-Kings were really coming into their own as a band. With years of relentless, econoline-style touring under their belt, and the additions of Tommy āTNTā Brenneck (Diamond West Records, Menahan Street Band, Charles Bradley) on guitar, and Dave Guy (The Roots, Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon) on trumpet, the group was not only the flagship group on Daptone Records, but also the very foundation upon which the label would build their empire.
Naturally altered the musical landscape of the era, eclipsing imitators and the soulfully challenged, wholesale. It made Daptone a household name, helped open doors for many musicians and family who have gone on to do remarkable things, and sparked a renaissance that is still vibrating today. A testament to Sharon Jonesā legacy as the undisputed, reigning Queen of heavyweight soul.Ā
