Staple, Mavis - Have A Little Faith [DELUXE EDITION, SILVER VINYL, 2xLP 45RPM] – New LP

20th anniversary deluxe edition, 45 RPM. 2xLP.

Gospel and soul legend Mavis Staples makes her Alligator debut with an inspired mixture of spiritual fervor, funky soul rhythms and rootsy acoustic instrumentation.

The remarkable third act of Mavis Staples’ legendary career has seen the gospel, soul, and civil-rights icon embraced by new generations of fans through her collaborations with the likes of Jeff Tweedy, Run The Jewels, Neko Case, and Justin Vernon. And it all began with Have A Little Faith, her Independently financed mission to bring her message into the 21st century. After being turned down by other labels unable to see the commercial appeal of this legend’s fresh, genre-busting approach to spiritual music, it was embraced by Alligator Records, who helped Mavis fulfill her dream and relaunch her career. Alligator is proud to release this landmark album on vinyl for a 20th Anniversary Edition with a reminiscence letter by Mavis, expanded artwork, and remastered on 2LPs at 45RPM for the best possible sound.
