Reviews
A bridge between the earthier funk swagger of Naturally and the lush Northern R&B sway of 100 Days, 100 Nights, I Learned the Hard Way found Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings moving their signature revival vision forward with newfound confidence and passion. The album’s opening three-song stretch, where her painful acknowledgment about a frayed romance on “The Game Gets Old” and the title track compellingly gives way to her rising above it all on “Better Things,” speaks to the affirming power of Sharon Jones’ resilience.
