Mavis Staples, one of America's most iconic musicians, returns with her 15th solo album, 'Sad and Beautiful World', a reflection of her decades-long career. At 86, she continues to inspire with a voice that blends hope, resilience, and deep love. Produced by Brad Cook, the album spans seven decades of American music, featuring both timeless covers and original tracks. Collaborators like Buddy Guy, Bonnie Raitt, and Jeff Tweedy join Mavis in honoring her legacy. The album touches on themes of love, faith, and perseverance, with songs like Hozier's 'Human Mind' and Leonard Cohen's 'Anthem' delivering powerful messages. Still performing and actively engaged in social causes, Mavis remains a living testament to the enduring power of music and the moral authority shaped by her experiences, from the Civil Rights Movement to her role as a guiding force in today's world. 'Sad and Beautiful World' is a prayer of compassion and hope in challenging times.
