About this product
In 1998, Roebuck InchPopsInch Staples recorded a final session, capping an illustrious career as leader and patriarch of the Staples Singers. Unfinished at the time of his passing in 2000, the tapes went to his daughter, Mavis, who then waited for the right opportunity to finish the recording in the spirit Pops intended. When she began her series of remarkable collaborations with Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, starting with 2010's You Are Not Alone and continuing with 2013's One True Vine, Mavis knew she had found the person to work on her father's record. Mavis Staples InchI chose this title because these were the words my father said to me as he gave me the tape of his final recordings. He was sick and lying in bed and asked me to play the record for him in his room. After listening to it, he called me to his room again. He was weak, but he handed me the tape and in a soft voice said 'Don't lose this, Mavis.' While Pops' voice and guitar sounded so good on the original recordings [and remain untouched on this record], I knew the songs needed something else to really come to life. Something special. Pops deserved that. So I called on my dear friend Jeff Tweedy to fill out the tracks around Pops and he's helped to craft this beautiful album.Inch Album Tracks 1. Somebody Was Watching 2. Sweet Home 3. No News Is Good News 4. Love on My Side 5. Friendship 6. Nobody's Fault But Mine 7. The Lady's Letter 8. Better Home 9. Will the Circle Be Unbroken 10. Gotta Serve Somebody

Coming off the huge success of her first collaboration with Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy the Grammy-winning YOU ARE NOT ALONE - Mavis Staples wanted to make their second album together both a continuation of the joyous spirit of the first, and an evolution. With new song offerings from Alan Sparhawk of Low, Nick Lowe, and three new Tweedy originals, ONE TRUE VINE is at once a darker and more uplifting album, anchored by reinventions of two 70s classics Funkadelics InchCan You Get to That?Inch and the Staples Singers InchI Like the Things About Me.Inch Album Tracks 1. Holy Ghost 2. Every Step 3. Can You Get to That 4. Jesus Wept 5. Celestial Shores 6. What Are They Doing in Heaven Today 7. Sow Good Seeds 8. I Like the Things About Me 9. Woke Up This Morning with My Mind on Jesus 10. One True Vine
