The Inside of Outside Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 That looks like a movie I want to see. The footage from the 60s and 70s is fascinating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boss_Tweedy Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 That looks like a movie I want to see. Same here. Can't wait. And I dare anyone to watch the trailer without wanting to hug her afterward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cold as Gasoline Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Jeff and Mavis collaborated on a posthumous Pops Staples record that's being released now. The video at the end of this article is so lovely and heartwarming. http://exclaim.ca/Music/article/jeff_tweedy_mavis_staples_finish_posthumous_album_by_pops_staples Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Inside of Outside Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 How cool to be Spencer Tweedy - just turned 19, and he has played on records by Jeff Tweedy, Mavis Staples, and now Pops Staples. Love "Somebody Was Watching". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

roadhse ma Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Maybe most of you caught her on PBS MusicaresI just watched it tonight. The camera catches Springsteen watching Mavis perform My City in Ruins and he too is mesmerized as she sings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oil Can Boyd Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Pretty good article about Mavis in today's NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/14/arts/music/mavis-staplesno-longer-wants-tomake-you-cry.html?_r=0 This was news to me: The documentary notes that Bob Dylan proposed to Ms. Staples when their paths crossed on the folk and civil-rights circuit. Their first kiss was at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival, Ms. Staples said in the 2014 book "I'll Take You There" by the Chicago Tribune music critic Greg Kot. “It was always in my mind that I couldn’t marry a white guy. I was so young and stupid,” she told Mr. Kot. “To this day, I could kick myself, because we were really in love. It was my first love, and it was the one I lost.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boss_Tweedy Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Mavis won her second Grammy! http://theboot.com/mavis-staples-best-roots-performance-2016-grammy-awards/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 The Bob Dylan proposal story is fairly well known and a staple of Mavis' interviews. Its cool and weird that Mavis won a Grammy for a very old song on a one off EP that seems sort of lack luster to me. I just bought a copy and listened a couple times and figure it will be sitting gathering dust on the shelf for a long time. Looking forward to the M. Ward album when it finally shows up on LP though.

nalafej Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 a staple of Mavis' interviews. I like what you did there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Thanks, kinda lame, but what the hell. I have noticed that the new Mavis album is getting a lot of online advertising. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Mavis was absolutely adorable on Stephen Colbert the other night. He had her on for an interview segment and then a song. She is just so warm and outgoing, and everybody seems to light up around her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 I can't think of a single performer who has bad a better late career resurgence than Mavis. Starting with "Have a Little Faith" on Alligator and produced by Jim Tullio in 2004, she has had a string of winners over the last decade. May the string continue.
