Sad and Beautiful World - Mavis Staples vinyl Record

Sad and Beautiful World, the latest solo album from Mavis Staples, a living legend of American soul music, is a musical celebration spanning seven decades — a reflection of her unique career. Produced by Brad Cook, it revisits classics by Tom Waits, Sparklehorse, Gillian Welch, Frank Ocean and others, as a collective tribute carried by Mavis's incomparable voice. Like the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's famous Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Cook brings together an artistic community around her: Buddy Guy, Bonnie Raitt, Jeff Tweedy, Derek Trucks, Katie Crutchfield, MJ Lenderman, Justin Vernon... A mosaic of talent at the service of a multi-generational artist. Winner of a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, honoured by the Kennedy Centre and inducted into several Rock, Gospel and Blues Halls of Fame, Mavis Staples remains a timeless figure in American musical heritage.
