4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, June 20, 2004

This review is from: Mavis Staples (Audio CD)

I had a negative reaction in mind the first time I heard this album as I was expecting some warm, soulful gospel like the Staples Singers. I was a little taken aback by the style of this as I don't like a lot of 80's music much at all and also don't generally like this kind of thing either. Anyway, it's weird, but I gave this another try and it grows on you. Mavis is such a wonderful singer and the songs seem greater than the sum of their parts. I think it's actually really good music, though I lack understanding and familiarity with the style.

There's no one who sings quite like her. Her raspy soulful voice set to these hip tracks are the bomb. If you liked the Staple Singers you'll love this.
