"After seeing Mavis perform live, with this same band, less than a week ago, doing many of the same songs, I can say that this live album absolutely captures the spirit of that performance. Mavis is timeless and incredibly moving, and her band brings the goods as well- especially the haunting, shimmering guitar work that perfectly matches Mavis's vocal intensity . The sound quality is also great. Get this album and receive a musical education!"

"Out standing vocals from Mavis Staples. She is very comfortable with this gospel/blues/civil rights theme. Great backing band with a brilliant guitarist. This has become a personal favourite. Authentic message well presented by this group."
Mavis Staples CD

"Staples voice will knock you out. One of the queens of the blues. "Down in Mississippi" in particular is haunting but all the songs will rock your world."
