It’s no wonder the Chicago Tribune calls Mavis Staples an “American treasure.” Staples has been a solid rock of American music, from the Delta-inflected gospel sound she helped create in the 1950s (“Uncloudy Day”), to her engaged protest music in the civil rights era (“Freedom Highway”), to a series of chart hits in the 1970s (“I’ll Take You There”). In a career packed with appearances alongside everyone from Martin Luther King, Jr., to Presidents Carter and Clinton, to Bob Dylan and Pink Floyd, Mavis Staples has blazed a rhythm and blues trail all her own, never relinquishing her gospel roots or her fiery spirit.

“Her fire is undimmed…amazingly rich.” – The Guardian
