Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings - Soulful Covers, Volume 2: 2010-2011

A week or two ago, I posted the first of three albums of Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings doing all covers, and here's the second. This was in response to their new all-covers album, "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Rendition Was In)." All the albums I'm posting in this series avoid any of the songs on that official album.

Six of the songs here are officially unreleased. But the sound quality is very good for that sort of thing. It helps that three of the songs come from an in-studio Internet show, and another comes from a TV show. So only two are from concert bootlegs.

The song "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love" included a long section in the middle where each band member was introduced and then played their instrument for a few moments. I cut all that out except for the intros to the two back-up singers, since I like what they did with those. I ended up cutting the song length about in half, which is why "Edit" is in the title.
