$24.00Call to Order
Mavis told her writers, 'I want to leave something to lift people up. I'm so busy making people cry.' M. Ward produced, and an indie-rock dream team answered: Nick Cave, Justin Vernon, Neko Case, tUnE-yArDs, and more, all writing for her alone. The result updates the Staple Singers' gospel rumble with acoustic warmth and quiet spiritual fire. At 76 her voice still shakes the rafters. Twelve songs that do exactly what she asked, and lift.
