The Reigning Queen (and Kings) of Soul
Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings.
Three tracks: '100 Days, 100 Nights', 'Medina' & 'Genuine'.
Recorded for the Giles Peterson show on the BBC earlier this year.

The power of the blogworld!
Through a comment left here (thank you) I have just discovered this young Melbourne artist.
The painting above has been selected to be in the running for a prize in portraiture at the Newcastle Region Art Gallery this November.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOBBY ACE!
Bob Weir is 61 today.
Here is the Grateful Dead acoustic set from the Melkweg in Amsterdam on this day in 1981.
Back in the 80's I worked in the Milky Way bookshop.
Sounds like a really cool job?
From a distance of 25 years, it seemed that the only customers were very stoned hippies wanting copies of the Kabbalah.
Pink Nasty
This will get you her duet with Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, 'Don't Ever Change' (the ultimate in power ballads!) and her cover of Usher's 'Burn'. As a bonus there is also her video for 'Away Message' included.
There is an interview at Aquarium Drunkard here.
Oh and she has a brother called Black Nasty.
Late addition.
Here is a demo for her upcoming third album.
It's a song about getting drunk and buying a dog!

Phil Lesh & Friends / Bob Weir & RatDog New Year's Eve 2008
Photographs by Herb Greene.Bark in the New Year with Friends!
Bob Weir and RatDog join
Phil Lesh and Friends for two nights, 12/30-12/31
Special Announcement from the Band:
Just as Hunter warns us to be skeptical when times are great - "when life looks like easy street", etc. - when times are as tough and scary as right now, it's time to plan a party. It's also time to savor our roots, and that means... New Year's Eve Show (plus one!)!
So here's the facts: December 30th and 31st, Bob Weir and RatDog and Phil Lesh and Friends/Phil Lesh and Friends and Bob Weir and RatDog, at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, with the Jackie Greene Band opening both nights.
Which band will open which night will be determined by a coin toss. We may ask our favorite President-elect to officiate. We'll let you know the results.
