Summary: Amazing Album
Comment: I confess, I was never part of the civil rights movement, but Mavis gives us a living, breathing account of those times. This album perfectly conveys that message. But I think what so defines this music is that the themes are so universal. Injustice, prejudice, bigotry is wrong, whether you are living in Mississippi or in some other part of the world, we are all God's children and we must take a stand against it.

Summary: Mavis & Ry: The perfect combination
Comment: Mud gave me this to listen to as he knew I really liked Ry Cooder.
From the first track I was gob-smacked.
This was the Ry I had come to know and love on his early albums: very sparse arrangements, deep bass, Jim Keltner on drums and of course the slide master, Ry himself.
What about Mavis you ask???
Sure, I'd heard of the Staples Singers and knew a couple of their hits from the 70's ("Respect Yourself" , "I'll Take You There" ) but that was about it. I was in for a surprise.
Mavis "owns" the old gospel numbers as if they were her own personal themes. She also injects new indignation at the issues of today as she did in the 60s civil rights movements. The voice and conviction are strong and the message is clear: "Have a look around yourself. Get your act together. Hallelujah!"

Summary: Profound and Moving
Comment: Mavis Staples has a voice unlike any other -- one that will give you chills, bring tears to your eyes, and inspire you. This is one of the best albums ever: powerful songs of the struggle for freedom and dignity sung with profound soul and brought up to date with a great backing band. Mavis is at the top of her form, and music doesn't come any better than that.

Summary: It Does Not Get Any Better
Comment: Whew! There is no better voice of the Civil Rights Movement than Mavis Staples. These were the songs that gave us courage, the songs by which we kept the faith. These newer versions rock! Listen.
