Click on this link: Mavis Staples. It will take you to NPR Music. I heard the interview this week on the way to work. I knew about this album and knew I wanted to hear it; but it is even better than I expected. You can listen to two of the songs when you press the link. This is a new album that was produced by Jeff Tweedy (Wilco) and sung by Mavis Staples. Remember that song by The Staple Singers, Respect Yourself? I always loved that.
The songs on this CD are so beautiful, gorgeous and touching! I am hoping to get the whole album this weekend. Here is proof of beauty and goodness in our world.
I'll have to check it out. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI will have to check it out as well. Hope you are enjoying a cozy fall weekend. Chilly and rainy weather- perfect for cross stitching and reading and nesting...
ReplyDeleteAlways liked the Staple Singers. Thanks for the flash back. (She still has a great voice!)
