In Episode 13, I review the 2025 album 'Sad and Beautiful World' by Gospel/Soul legend Mavis Staples, best known for being the lead singer of the incredible Staple Singers. She and her family, led by Pops Staples, wrote protest songs during the civil rights movement and had a number of hits in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Mavis' solo career is in its seventh decade, now, and I discuss how 'hard times' led to the making of this sweet and serene record.

Give me a follow, a rating, and a review if you enjoy this podcast!
