Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings - Naturally

Naturally is the second studio album by American funk and soul band Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, originally released in January 2005 via Daptone Records.

2005's Naturally was a pivotal moment in the history of soul music. It was the first Daptone album tracked at the renowned "House of Soul," a recording studio hand built by Sharon and the rest of the Daptone family in a two story rental in Bushwick, Brooklyn. The album has gone on to sell over 200,000 records, with hit singles "How Long Do I Have to Wait?" and "This Land is Your Land" streaming in the hundreds of millions - staggering figures for a wholly independent release.

Up to this point Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings had yet to reach an audience outside of dingy, hole-in-the-wall clubs, dive bars, and underground DJ parties, attended by only the most in-the-know. This was the scene where the band began to flourish, developing the sound that would forever alter the musical landscape and set a lofty new bar for what could be considered real-deal soul music.

It made Daptone a household name and opened doors for countless musicians and record labels to come. Naturally sparked a renaissance that is still vibrating today— a testament to Sharon Jones' legacy as the undisputed, reigning Queen of Heavyweight Soul.

Celebrating 20 years since its initial release, the album has been completely re-mastered, featuring a second bonus LP containing never before heard instrumental mixes of all 10 tracks in an updated version of the now iconic gatefold cover.

This double album 2LP record set is a 20^th anniversary limited edition on orange crush coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with bonus material and remastered audio, pressed in the US via Daptone Records.
