Sweet Baby Charles

I came across Baby Charles on Dusty Groove records and am kicking myself for waiting as long as I did to finally get it (album came out in March 2008). I can’t be happier that I corrected that situation.

Baby Charles follows in the footsteps of Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings when it comes down to deep down funk fronted by a strong female voice. The biggest difference may be that Baby Charles is even dirtier, grittier, deeper than the Dap Kings. It’s not to say Sharon isn’t the reigning queen of funk right now…she still is. But she better watch out because Baby Charles is on the rise.
