Editorial Reviews

Coming off the huge success of her first collaboration with Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy the Grammy-winning YOU ARE NOT ALONE - Mavis Staples wanted to make their second album together both a continuation of the joyous spirit of the first, and an evolution. With new song offerings from Alan Sparhawk of Low, Nick Lowe, and three new Tweedy originals, ONE TRUE VINE is at once a darker and more uplifting album, anchored by reinventions of two 70s classics Funkadelics "Can You Get to That?" and the Staples Singers "I Like the Things About Me."

This CD was inspiring to me in a way that not too many people would understand. My younger brother who was a worship leader until his death in 2002 was a BIG fan of the Staple singers in the 70's - He used to say (from the time he was in high school until his death) that he was a 'Black woman trapped in a white boy's body'. He and I were 2 of 6 kids and shared similar abuse - I was soooooooooooooo blessed to be on stage at the Napa, Ca Bottlerock concert this year when Mavis performed and I wish that I had brought our 45 record of the Staple singers to have Mavis sign for me and David's (my brother) wife and kids - Her performance was by far for me the BEST performance at the concert - Thank you, Mavis and God Bless You!

Great voice, simple and effective production from Jeff Tweedy, and an interesting and arresting mix of songs from an Parliament's "Can You Get to That" to new material from Tweedy and Nick Lowe as well as a selection of more traditional gospel numbers. Don't miss You Are Not Alone (also produced by Tweedy in 2010), as well as the Ry Cooder produced We'll Never Turn Back from 2007.

I picked this one true vine because I have a personal interest in Mavis Staples and what she has to say to the world. I know there is always a message in her music and I also know how the world has persecuted her and chose Oprah over her. I started out on this journey with her and I never changed my lover in the middle of the night. I felt the pain and suffering and the rejection that she felt because we are one.

I bought this CD after seeing Staples on the Colbert Report. This is a great CD, and a great gift. I've shared it with several folks, all of whom love it too. It probably falls in the "easy listening" category - not Musaak, but definitely not particularly edgy. The songs generally are melodic and harmonious in a way that makes them fairly easy to sing along with, and Mavis &co have very pleasant voices themselves.

It's hard to contemplate that Mavis Staples is approaching 75 and still performing. This album, produced by Jeff Tweedy is unbelievably good, one of those laid back CDs that has to be listened as a whole and which works as a whole. Mavis can wrap her voice anything - from the Staples Singers on VeeJay and Stax through being a solo artist for the last 35 years. This one's a keeper.

Saw her perform two songs on Colbert and ordered the cd immediately. She is amazing, and the cd is one of the best I've bought in years. "Can You Get to That" rocks, and the vocals/harmonies stir the soul. She was amazing at the Rally to Restore Sanity, she was amazing in the Staples Singers, and she's amazing here.

Yes, good stuff,but maybe too similar to last album."Got a formula-stick with it" headspace could get boring.Gotta keep pushing and reinventing. Maybe Jeff Tweedy is too safe for Mavis and she should move on? T-Bone Burnet or similar springs to mind. Nice album for a while.

Since hearing Mavius Staples on the TV Show "The Black List", I'm a BIG fan now.

Just missed her in concert in Toronto by one week.

Love the album and her voice.

5.0 out of 5 stars One True Vine: Mavis Staples - Music from a far celestial shore?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 11, 2013

When I first heard Mavis Staples' 2010 release `You are not alone', I was bown away by the majesty of the album, the powerful vocals matched with an impressive production and an honest faith that imbued every note. I had looked forward mightily to a follow up release, and it is finally here. And it is another powerful and beautiful piece.

The tone is a little more downbeat than the previous release, there is a hint of melancholia hovering around the songs. This is still a gospel album however, and the sense of faith still pervades, and every now and then (as with the perennial favourite `Woke Up This Morning With My Mind On Jesus') Mavis takes it up a gear and lets her joyful side shine through. Mavis is a great singer, and every syllable she utters carries an emotional punch.

Of equal importance I feel is the production, from Wilco's Jeff Tweedy. The production is rich without being lush, and, like Mavis' voice has'plenty of bottom' as my granny would say. It perfectly matches the voice, being subtle and understated for most of the time, supporting Mavis' singing, but occasionally bursting out with a little bombast.

It's a perfect pairing of producer and singer, and the combination has provided us with another great album. 5 stars, and respect to Mavis for her huge artistry that just shines through here.

Un disco tradizionale suonato in modo attuale, rinnovato ma fresco ed assolutamente bello. Mavis ha la voce, Jeff Tweedy (Produttore) i suoni e le idee: insieme fanno faville. Vinile perfetto, suono superbo.
