Editorial Reviews
Mavis Staples is an American Music legend. She was at the forefront of the civil rights movement in the 1960's, as singer for the legendary gospel group, The Staples Singers. Mavis, along with her father, Pops, and siblings marched and worked alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr on the fight for equality in this country. In December 2016, Mavis went to Washington, DC to receive the coveted Kennedy Center Honors from President Obama, with whom she has had a long standing friendship. Mavis invited Wilco frontman and dear friend, Jeff Tweedy as her guest for the weekend's festivities. The two spent hours discussing the current events and how today's fight for equality is very similar to those in the 60's. Inspired by these events, Mavis and Jeff got together and wrote Mavis' new album, If All I Was Was Black, produced by Jeff Tweedy. The new album is a perfect message for our time and is by far Mavis' best work to date.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2025Come over to the dark side. Delve into the mysteries of life with a person who has seen it all.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2018Mavis and her amazing voice are still as stellar as ever. This album has really grown on me; I listen to it often while driving and its inspiration in these difficult times is a comfort.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2018A near-perfect collection of songs that demonstrate the sustained power and current relevance of Mavis. Somehow this is both her angriest and most low-key outing all at the same time, and it all works.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2018I love this record. Lots of nice guitar riffs, well crafted songs with social conscience. I can put this cd in the car stereo and leave it in there for a couple of days at a time.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2021Did not dislike any of it.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2017Mavis and tweedy are a match made in heaven, what a team. A little quieter and more contemplative, works for me. I have them all. Saw her open for dylan 2 days ago, she did 2 of these numbers
- Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2017Mavis Staples brings the wisdom and force of her years to this album. You WILL BE UPLIFTED! This is the album to turn to when you are sick of the news.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2018This six Mavis Staples. As a fan, i night be less critical, but this is worth buying.
