The First Taste of Mavis Staples' New Album "If All I Was Was Black"

September 20, 2017

Mavis Staples' eight-decade long career is nothing shy of prolific. Staples has seen the ugliest sides of racist America as she grew up traveling around the country with her family on the gospel circuit. Now she has new music that's centered on the current social climate and ongoing racial conflicts that plague our country; a climate that is probably all too familiar to her. 

Staples' new album If All I Was Was Black, comes in collaboration with friend and longtime collaborator, Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy, who wrote the albums 11 songs, three of which were co-written with the soul legend, including the title track. Tweedy and Staples have been collaborating since 2010’s You Are Not Alone, which won a Grammy Award for Best Americana Album.

Listen to the album’s breezy yet poignant title track below.

In 1997, Spiritualized's album Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space was named album of the year  by NME magazine over much more glorified opus albums like Radiohead's OK Computer and The Verve's Urban Hymns. The newest release from Jason Pierce & Co., And Nothing Hurt, is a similarly ambitious blend of shoegazer rock and indie R&B that is sure to keep his legion of fans happy, but let's hope that with lyrics like "Gonna burn brightly for a while/and then you're gone," it's not the last.
On their 6th album, veteran indie rock brooders Interpol team up with producer Dave Fridmann for their latest offering, Marauder. As always their songs are anchored by the moody tenor of dapper lead singer and sometime surfer Paul Banks. The only thing missing from previous releases are the strong bass lines of long time collaborator Carlos Dengler.  Standout tracks are "The Rover" and "Stay in Touch."
