I think it goes without saying that the guys at Daptone Records can't put out anything bad. This record is smokin'. The Menahan Street Band is a collaboration of musicians from Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings (Dave Guy, Homer Steinweiss, Fernando Velez, Bosco Mann), El Michels Affair (Leon Michels, Toby Pazner), Antibalas (Nick Movshon, Aaron Johnson) and the Budos Band (Mike Deller, Daniel Fodder), brought together by musician/producer Thomas Brenneck (Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Budos Band, Amy Winehouse) to record hits in the bedroom of his Menahan St. apartment in Bushwick, Brooklyn. If you know anything about those four bands then you already have an idea of how funky this will be. There are two particular songs that are falling into my I Love This Song constant rotation. But don't get me wrong, the whole album is gonna make it's way there eventually. Enjoy.
