Free Music Notes for Mavis Staples/Only for the Lonely
Free Music Review: FLAWLESS MOMENTS FROM A SINGER UNLIKE ANY OTHER!
Hit: 5 Stars
Although not as famous as other great singers like Dione Warwick or Aretha Franklin, Mavis Staples is made of the same unquestionable star material. She will knock anyone down with her voice, her style and her talent.
She one of the brightest stars on the American music firmament.
This CD comprises two LPs: "Mavis Staples" (tracks 1-11) and "Only for the Lonely (tracks 12-20). The last track is from another album: "Boy Meets Girl". All recordings date from 1969.
Interesting to hear Isaac Hayes playing the organ here. :-)
My favorite song here is "Since I Fell for You". It tops any other version available from any other artist. But this song is just one from a total of 21 tracks of sheer brilliance.
Now I must get her other albums... and also the ones from the Staples Singers. You'll find a gold mine in Mavis Staples: the only thing you have to do is dig. :-)
This CD is a gem to hold and treasure.
Mavis Staples/Only for the Lonely Poster
Mavis Staples's earthy contralto was the Staple Singers' prime asset, and she finally recorded her first solo album in 1969. That album, Mavis Staples, was a tentative, unconvincing collection of pop standards like Dionne Warwick's "A House Is Not a Home," Sam Cooke's "You Send Me" and a pair of Otis Redding songs. The followup, 1970's Only for the Lonely, was much better, yielding the R&B hit "I Have Learned to Do Without You," the exquisite slow blues "How Many Times" and the finger-snapping Memphis soul of "It Makes Me Wanna Cry." Now the 20 tracks from those two albums have been combined on a single CD entitled Only for the Lonely (Stax), and supplemented with "That's the Way Love Is," a duet with Johnny Taylor from Boy Meets Girl, a Stax collection of male-female duets. This isn't Mavis Staples's best work--she went on to do much better singing with her family and on her own--but it's an invaluable glimpse at the first solo steps by one of America's finest singers --Geoffrey HimesCountry Music CDs
