Mavis Staples - We'll Never Turn Back

A third Sunday offering? Well, in truth, this is not entirely Gospel but it is inspiring music for a Sunday afternoon with the divine Ms Mavis -- there is a whole lot of singing going on here and it ain't just Mavis! Ry Cooder is producer/collaborator here and he does a fabulous job. In perusing the reviews of this monster it seems that the biggest complaint is that it is TOO good to be true.....yeah...I'll take that thank you!

The world needs more music like this - after nearly 60 years in the struggle Mavis sees how much is still undone, and makes it clear. Turn it up! Sing out loud! Keep on walking, keep on talking, let them know we ain't dead.
