"Ain't No Chimneys In the Projects," Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings (Daptone)

This was out as a vinyl single for 2009 and has since become available from the usual download stores. Sharon and the band apply their patented 60's soul approach to a 60s style protest lament about making poor children's Christmases merry, very much in the tradition of James Brown's "Santa Claus Go Straight To the Ghetto." Nice work. Binky Griptite does a holiday rap over the instrumental track to this song on the B-side.
