Naturally (20th Anniversary Edition)

2005’s Naturally was a pivotal moment in the history of soul music. It was the first Daptone album tracked at the renowned "House of Soul,” a recording studio handbuilt by Sharon and the rest of the Daptone family in a two-story rental in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

The album has gone on to sell over 200,000 records, with hit singles “How Long Do I Have to Wait” and “This Land is Your Land” streaming in the hundreds of millions—staggering figures for a wholly independent release.

Up to this point Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings had yet to reach an audience outside of dingy, hole-in-the-wall clubs, dive bars, and underground DJ parties, attended by only the most in-the-know. But this was the scene where the band began to flourish, developing the sound that would forever alter the musical landscape and set a lofty new bar for what could be considered real-deal soul music.

It made Daptone a household name and opened doors for countless musicians and record labels to come. Naturally sparked a renaissance that is still vibrating today—a testament to Sharon Jones’ legacy as the undisputed, reigning Queen of heavyweight soul.

This 20th Anniversary edition is completely remastered and includes a second LP with never before heard instrumental mixes of all tracks.
