Daptone Remixed - Part 6: Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, 'How Long Do I Have to Wait for You?'

As the Daptone Records remix series continues on, we're dropping the third remix of Sharon Jones' infinite soul goodness. For this go 'round, New York-based dub/reggae head Victor Axelrod -- aka Ticklah -- put a smooth Carribbean twist on the Jones' soul anthem, 'How Long Do I Have to Wait for You?' Ticklah is part of Easy Star All-Stars, the collective that brought you the song-by-song cover of Radiohead's 'OK Computer.' Keep reading to hear his transformation and compare it to the original.

this is just an amazing remix of an already classic song. reggae music is still obscure to most American ears, much less an authentic "Rock Steady" send-up like this... but, even with Ticklah's magic, the bedrock sound comes from the phenomenal pipes of Ms. Jones, and crosses the narrow musical divide between soul and reggae.
