Band leader, guitarist and vocal group patriarch Roebuck Pops Staples died in 2000, leaving a number of recent unfinished recordings and an instruction to daughter Mavis: Don’t lose this album. It has taken more than a decade for her to let it go. Co-produced by Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy, here are 10 spare and uncluttered Blues, traditionals and covers featuring Tweedy on bass, his son Spencer on drums and Staples’ daughters high in the mix. Some songs roll along with almost indecent ease.
- A1 Somebody Was Watching
- A2 Sweet Home
- A3 No News Is Good News
- A4 Love On My Side
- A5 Friendship
- B1 Nobody's Fault But Mine
- B2 The Lady's Letter
- B3 Better Home
- B4 Will The Circle Be Unbroken
- B5 Gotta Serve Somebody
