This EP is the record that won Mavis Staples her second Grammy several weeks ago. Written primarily by her label-mate, Son Little, the short album does a surprisingly good job capturing both the beginning and the more recent eras of Staples’ style in succinct, modern tracks. The titular song is a perfect example of this – it’s moody, bluesy, and ee...
