All Hail the New Traditionalists - Sharon Jones and the Detroit Cobras

           I thought of putting together a Sharon Jones and Detroit Cobras compilation a while back, but I was waiting for a new Cobras release.  That was about 18 months ago, and since there doesn't seem to be one forthcoming in the near future.... well, now's as good time as any (especially with summer on its way - if, I may be so bold, I think it would make a nice bbq soundtrack).   And I know traditionalist is kind of a silly term, but, hey, it seemed a bit better than revivalist. :)

Another fine compilation with some great ballsy tunes & this one's got me shaking my tail feathers. Thank you!

@anonymous,

Quite welcome! I'm not sure I did justice to them, but it's hard to screw up too much when it comes to the catalogs of Sharon Jones and the Detroit Cobras.

Thanks for pointing me to an artist who is actually still alive.

@Frankie Mules,

Well both of them are alive, though the Cobras haven't had a new album in quite some time. :)
