Mavis Staples - The Root

‘Sad And Beautiful World,’ the latest solo album from national treasure and multigenerational talent, Mavis Staples, is out today. On her new record featuring the Grammy-nominated singles “Beautiful Strangers" and “Godspeed,” Mavis stands side by side with us in the face of dangers she knows all too well, at a time when more and more people have reason to wonder who and what could be lost. Thank you to producer Brad Cook. Thank you to songwriters Tom Waits, KEVIN MORBY, Mark Linkous, Hozier & Al
