Label: Daptone
This, Daptone's 100th 45rpm release, features an unprecedented collaboration of talent from our legendary roster of artists. The A side, Hey Brother is a song written by The FRIGHTNRS and originally performed on their recently released rock-steady LP, Nothing More to Say. In the wake of the tragic loss of their singer, Dan Klein to ALS just before the albums release, we felt it to be a fitting tribute as well as an ideal composition to re-imagine as a soulful collaboration between all of our dynamic vocalists. Here we have SAUN & STARR CHARLES BRADLEY, The FRIGHTNRS, JAMES HUNTER, NAOMI SHELTON, DUKE AMAYO, LEE FIELDS and of course the late great matriarch of our family, SHARON JONES, all performing together on record for the first and only time, singing a message of righteousness and brotherhood over a groove sewn seamlessly together by members of The DAP-KINGS and MENAHAN STREET BAND.
