Like most of Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings’ increasingly impressive and consistent body of work, “I Learned The Hard Way” finds a unique and special way to combine huge horns and Sharon Jones’ massive voice with one of R&B and soul’s most discussed topics, without making it sound redundant.

I saw SJ & TDK in Dallas several years ago at the Granada Theater. I’ve never been to a better show in my life! SJ has killer pipes and so much soul. I cannot wait for the new album. Thanks for sharing!

i love this song and love that sharon and the dap kings did most of the song track for american wedding. I would like to suggest you add a woman to your line up; for example my daughter is a fabulous jazz bassist.
