I Learned the Hard Way, 2010
Written by Bosco Mann
Mama disapproves, but the love is real. A stripped-down, mid-tempo soul ballad deliberately evocative of the '60s beat. Built on little more than brushed drums, a few warm guitar chords, and a bluesy upright bass, the song gives Sharon Jones the perfect space to pour out her aching, gospel-drenched vocals. Her delivery is raw but tender, not brassy or defiant; there's a quiet resistance mixed with sorrow.
