Sharon Jones is feeling better, thank you. The 57-year-old dynamo with the late-arriving but affecting career at forefront of the soul/funk revival underwent treatment for bile duct cancer earlier this year, and today’s news is that after a successful operation and treatment, Jones has recovered. And her latest effort with Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings – originally scheduled for an August release – will be out Jan. 14. The album is titled “Give the People What They Want,” the band’s fifth full-length for Daptone Records, and the first single “Retreat!” gets a great treatment in the animated video directed by Lizzi Akana. Here’s to many more years.
