5.0 out of 5 stars Swamp, Soul, Roots, Life to the MAX!!!!!!, November 5, 2008

Simply an amazing night of music caught on tape. Small club but a HUGE sound. Mavis and background singers in tiptop form. Holmstrom, Hodges and Turmes crankin' out the TONE.

From Hodges backwards grooves and percussion to Holmstrom and Turmes TONE and then over to Mavis's stories. This record is a MUST HAVE in my book. My current favorite band does not disappoint here.

A+++ sound quality for a live record too! Don't wait, if you are a fan of anyone on this record, a fan of Mavis's, a fan of DEEP SOUL....do yourself a favor and pick this cd up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mavis - Need I Say More?, November 24, 2008

This review is from: Live: Hope At The Hideout (Audio CD)

In the entire history of Soul Music, only two people can get down deep and grab your soul; twist and turn it inside out; then, hand it back to you thoroughly cleansed, steamed, pressed and awakened to a new consciousness of the struggle African-Americans have wrestled with for the past 400+ years. They are Sam Cooke and Mavis Staples.

It's all there in this 'live' CD - the pain, frustration, sorrow and joy of a people who refuse to give up the fight. Mavis brings it all together with her incredibly rich alto to contralto intonations from her gut-wrenching delivery on "Waiting For My Child" to her eerie rendition of "Down In Mississippi" and the jubilantly hopeful "I'll Take You There". It's all there - Mavis at her best!

With just a trio of fine musicians - especially guitarist Rick Holmstrom - 3 super backup singers - including sister Yvonne Staples, Mavis delivers a cornucopia of some of the finest music reflecting "The Struggle". Simply put, Mavis Staples is a living-breathing-singing piece of 20th Century American History. Mavis was THERE; and, thankfully, she's still here to share it all with us.

"The Voice" still shines though any cloudy day. Simply magnificent!

Staples voice will knock you out. One of the queens of the blues. "Down in Mississippi" in particular is haunting but all the songs will rock your world.
