Our Take

Mavis Staples has been blessing us with her soulful vocals since the 1950s, and at 71 years old, she proves she still has what it takes to captivate us with her latest album "You Are Not Alone."

Opening with the title track, Staples reminds us that we are never alone in this world, especially when we have her powerful voice to guide us through. With production by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, the album seamlessly blends gospel, soul, and folk to create a unique and uplifting listening experience.

Tracks like "Losing You" and "I Belong to the Band" showcase Staples' ability to convey raw emotion through her singing, while "Wrote a Song for Everyone" featuring Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy offers a refreshing mix of old-school soul and contemporary folk.

Staples' cover of Randy Newman's "You've Got a Friend in Me" is a standout moment on the album, with her effortless delivery and heartfelt interpretation making it a true highlight.

Overall, "You Are Not Alone" is a testament to Mavis Staples' enduring talent and unmatched charisma. This album is a must-listen for anyone in need of a musical pick-me-up or just a damn good time. Trust in Staples to deliver the goods, as always. Cheers to you, Mavis!
