Epitaph

Mavis Staples is an American gospel, R&B and soul singer and civil rights activist. Born on July 10, 1939 in Chicago, Illinois, USA, she has made a significant impact on the music industry both as a member of her family's band The Staple Singers and as a solo artist.
With her powerful voice and passionate performances, Mavis has captivated audiences around the world. She comes from a musical lineage that includes her father Pops Staples and siblings Cleotha, Yvonne, and Pervis. Together with The Staple Singers, they created timeless hits that blended gospel harmonies with elements of R&B and soul.
Throughout her career, Mavis Staples has collaborated with renowned artists such as Bettye LaVette, The Blind Boys Of Alabama, Allen Toussaint, Ruthie Foster, The Neville Brothers, Levon Helm,and Dr. John among others. Her contributions to music have earned her numerous accolades including Grammy Awards and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Soul / gospel legend, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, and civil rights icon Mavis Staples releases her second collaboration with Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, 'One True Vine,' via Anti-. The follow-up to 2010's Grammy-winning 'You Are Not Alone,' 'One True Vine' finds Staples traversing darker terrain with stark, acoustic arrangements and the most honest, unvarnished vocal performances of her career. Featuring ten tracks—including new compositions written specifically for Staples by Tweedy and Nick Lowe along with covers ranging from Funkadelic to Low - the record is the most personal and emotional statement from the 'American treasure' (Chicago Tribune) yet. Recorded at The Loft, Wilco's studio in Chicago, the album features Jeff Tweedy on nearly every instrument except drums, which were played by Tweedy's 17-year-old son Spencer. From album opener 'Holy Ghost,' written by Low's Alan Sparhawk, to the new Tweedy composition 'Jesus Wept,' the gravity in Staples' voice is transfixing, heavy with burdens but blessed with the promise of true redemption that shines through on Nick Lowe's deft and driving 'Celestial Shores,' Funkadelic's 'Can You Get To That,' and Pops Staples' uplifting 'I Like The Things About Me.'180 Gram Vinyl with CD Version.
