Soul Legend Mavis Staples to Release New Album, “One True Vine” | LISTEN to New Single, “Can You Get to That”

Mavis Staples Confirms New Album Produced By Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy,
‘One True Vine,’ Out June 25 via Anti- Follow Up To 2010’s
Grammy-Winning ‘You Are Not Alone’ Features New Compositions By Tweedy
and Nick Lowe, Plus Covers of Low, Funkadelic, and More


Soul/gospel
legend, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, and civil rights icon Mavis
Staples will release her second collaboration with Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy,
‘One True Vine, ‘ June 25 via Anti-. The follow-up to 2010’s
Grammy-winning ‘You Are Not Alone, ‘ ‘One True Vine’ finds Staples
traversing darker terrain with stark, acoustic arrangements and the most
honest, unvarnished vocal performances of her career. Featuring ten
tracks—including new compositions written specifically for Staples by
Tweedy and Nick Lowe along with covers ranging from Funkadelic to
Low—the record is the most personal and emotional statement from the
“American treasure” (Chicago Tribune) yet.

Recorded
at The Loft, Wilco’s studio in Chicago, the album features Jeff Tweedy
on nearly every instrument except drums, which were played by Tweedy’s
17-year-old son Spencer. From album opener “Holy Ghost, ” written by
Low’s Alan Sparhawk, to the new Tweedy composition “Jesus Wept, ” the
gravity in Staples’ voice is transfixing, heavy with burdens but blessed
with the promise of true redemption that shines through on Nick Lowe’s
deft and driving “Far Celestial Shore, ” Funkadelic’s “Can You Get To
That, ” and Pops Staples’ uplifting “I Like The Things About Me.”

Staples’
last collaboration with Tweedy, ‘You Are Not Alone, ‘ earned her the
highest Billboard chart debut of her 50+ year career, her first Grammy
award, and universal critical acclaim. NPR enthused, “she could move a
listener to tears, ” while People Magazine said she “provides the
comfort of a higher power.” Mavis performed at the Kennedy Center
Honors, took the stage at Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert’s massive
televised “Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear, ” and performed at the
NAACP Image Awards and 2011 VH1 Divas broadcast. She also provided one
of the most indelible moments of the 2013 Grammy telecast with a moving
tribute to Levon Helm alongside Elton John, Mumford & Sons, Brittany
Howard (The Alabama Shakes), T Bone Burnett, and Zac Brown.
