Mavis Staples - Live In London - VINYL LP

The classic sounds of classic '50s and '60s rock & roll, Jeremy & the Harlequins are a five-piece band hailing from New York City. The band was formed by lead vocalist Jeremy Fury (born Jeremy Lublin) and guitarist Craig Bonich, two friends with similar musical viewpoints who had played in a short-lived band called the Romans. When Stevie returned from a sojourn in Europe, he soon teamed up with Jeremy and Craig. Jeremy had a backlog of songs, and after guitarist Patrick Meyer and bassist Bobby Ever joined the new group, they wasted no time getting to work. Within weeks of the band settling on their lineup, they began recording an album in the summer of 2013, and it finally reached the public in 2015 under the title American Dreamer. Upon it's , Steven Van Zandt began playing their tune InchTrip into the LightInch on his syndicated radio show, Little Steven's Underground Garage, and the musician and DJ honored it with his weekly accolade of the Coolest Song in the World.

Iconic singer Mavis Staples is an alchemist of American music, and during her 70+ year career one of her most beloved musical moments was her riveting performance in Martin Scorsese's film' The Last Waltz,' performing InchThe WeightInch, with The Band, a moment that forged a life-long friendship between her and Levon Helm. Staples came to Woodstock, NY to perform as part of Helm's renowned Midnight Ramble series, and the ensuing concert-available now for the first time on the rousing new ANTI- Records 'Carry Me Home'-would mark a personal high watermark for both artists. Captured live in the summer of 2011, 'Carry Me Home' showcases two of the past century's most iconic voices coming together in love and joy, tracing their shared roots and celebrating the enduring power of faith and music. The setlist was righteous that night, mixing vintage gospel and soul with timeless folk and blues, and the performances were loose and playful, fueled by an ecstatic atmosphere that was equal parts family reunion and tent revival. Read between the lines, though, and there's an even more poignant story at play here. Neither Staples nor Helm knew that this would be their last performance together-the collection marks one of Helm's final recordings before his death-and listening back now, a little more than a decade later, tunes like InchThis May Be The Last TimeInch and InchFarther AlongInch take on new, bittersweet meaning. The result is an album that's at once a time capsule and a memorial, a blissful homecoming and a fond farewell, a once-in-a-lifetime concert-and friendship-preserved for the ages. Staples and the night's soulful crew of backup singers handle the vast majority of the vocal work here, but it's perhaps album closer InchThe Weight,Inch which features Helm chiming in with lead vocals for the first time, that stands as the concert's most emotional moment.InchIt never
