Throughout their long tenure as a band, the Staples family have imparted their music with a powerful spirit, no matter what style they may be tackling. Mavis Staples brings an earthy moan to the folky “Far Celestial Shore”, while her father Roebuck adds a gentle air to the funky Afropop of the Talking Heads' “Papa Legba”, and on a collaboration with Marty Stuart, the family elevate The Band's roots-rock classic “The Weight” into the heavens.
