Mojo magazine enthuse about latest Mavis Staples album

VETERAN gospel diva Mavis Staples has released her latest album, 'We Get By', through Anti Records. Read a review in Mojo magazine, "The uptempo 'Sometime' takes Mavis to church, and we're still there during the sombre contemplation of 'Never Needed Anyone' - as with gospel-rooted singers, her 'anyone' could mean her partner, or her God. The passing of both Pops and sister/companion Yvonne has lent a sense of loss and impermanence: 'Now all that we are is the living ghost of our youth. . .' and that's echoed by the ballad 'Hard To Leave' - 'grab a hold of the days before the days grab hold of you. . .'."
