I'm really liking this new single from Saundra Williams and Starr Duncan, two of the newest ladies on the Daptone label. In fact, they're known as the "Dapettes," and they sing background vocals for the amazing Sharon Jones. Anyone that has seen them perform with her knows that Saun & Starr are a force on their own. I'm glad they're getting what's due with this new recording.The song is "Hot Shot," and it's got the classic Daptone musicianship. Saun and Starr work magically with the rhythm, flowing perfectly into the chorus, "you're on the spot"¦ hot shot." We'll see if a full-length is in the future for these two women -- hopefully it is!
