daptone singles- john
(the Daptone Studio)
By now you and the rest of America have heard about Grammy award winning Amy Winehouse chanting racial slurs in a crack den while carving pentagrams into baby bottoms or whatever the sensational scandal is. That being said, it is safe to assume that the retro Motown sound that she helped popularize is quickly fading from the mainstream. Fine with me, because you are never going to have to worry about shenanigans like that from anyone on the Daptone label.
The Brooklyn-based soul-funk loving Daptone Records released a special digital-only compilation recently featuring 13 tracks previously available only on 7 inchs. Entitled Daptone 7 inch Singles Collection, Vol. 2, the album collects rarities from Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, Charles Bradley and the Bullets, and more
Catch the super tiny and super energetic Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings at all sorts of festivals this super warm summer including Austin City Limits Festival.
Grab the Charles Bradley track from the Daptone 7 inch Singles Collection, Vol. 2 below and buy Daptone 7 inch Singles Collection, Vol. 2 at the following places:

No way, 60s sound is still in. ACL has Sharon Jones and Eli Paperboy Reed and the Second Sunday Sock Hop is still bangin. The 60s fad was damaged by Winehouse but it still has legs. People know Amy isn't the embodiment of the 60s and she won't singlehandedly bring the style down.
