Produced by Bosco Mann and recorded on an Ampex eight-track tape machine by Gabriel Roth in Daptone Records\u2019 House of Soul studios, this record drips with a warmth and spontaneity rarely found since the golden days of Muscle Shoals and Stax. Sharon\u2019s raw power, rhythmic swagger, moaning soulfulness, and melodic command set her firmly alongside Tina Turner, James Brown, Mavis Staples, and Aretha as a fixture in the canon of soul music. From the lushPhilly-Soul fanfare that ushers in \u201cThe Game Gets Old\u201d at the top of the record, to the stripped down Sam Cooke-style\u201cMama Don\u2019t Like My Man\u201d at the tail, the Dap-Kings dance seamlessly through both the most crafted and simple arrangements with subtlety and discipline. I Learned the Hard Way is the \u201cDaptone Sound\u201d at its finest.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
