Mavis Staples and Jeff tweedy talk about "You Are Not Alone"

Biography

“All of these songs are me, but in a different way, with a different sound,” says Mavis Staples. “The phrasing, the tempos, the arrangements are different, but the messages are the same things I’ve been saying down through the years. They’re about the world today—poverty, jobs, welfare, all of that—and making it feel better through these songs.”

With her bold new album, You Are Not Alone, the… Read more in Amazon's Mavis Staples Store

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, June 20, 2004
By 
DirkL (Sydney, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great tape!! Raspy voice. She's still got it!!!, August 22, 2001
This review is from: Mavis Staples (Audio CD)
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.
