Details

[Edit]

Amy Winehouse and Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings' emergence has reminded listeners of rock & roll's soul roots, recalling days of Beatles covers of the Miracles and the Marvelettes. Bring back dance music with a backbeat. And if you want something hardcore, take a walk on the wilder side with these San Diego vets. Lady Dottie, aka Dorothy Mae Whitsett of Alabama, is one of those ex-gospel crooners (like so many original soul stars) who belts like she can outlast anyone at any age (she's in her sixties, but sounds 30). And her Diamonds add Chess blues, rave-up R&B, and garage so untamed that they sound like the Yardbirds and the MC5 backing Big Mama Thornton — and the Sonics when covering (as the Sonics did) Richard Berry's "Have Love, Will Travel." All-night dance (toga?) party! ~ Jack Rabid, The Big Takeover, Rovi
