It's A Holiday Soul Party | Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings | Daptone
This is a playful and funky 11-track set, filled with both originals and unique takes on traditional Yuletide standards, with rich melodies and arrangements courtesy of the Dap-Kings. "Ain't No Chimneys in the Projects," a pointed piece of holiday-themed social commentary original released in 2009, takes its merry place alongside newer tunes like "Big Bulbs" and "8 Days (Of Hanukkah)," all with swinging horns and Jones’s singing superbly backed by girl-group harmonies.
