About Mavis Staples' Your Good Fortune
The new EP by soul/gospel icon Mavis Staples entitled Your Good Fortune is now available. The four track record was produced by acclaimed young cross genre soul explorer Son Little utilizing modern cut and paste techniques to simultaneously honor and expand upon Staple’s rich musical legacy – forged both with her father Pops as part of The Staple Singers and as a Grammy winning solo artist. The new EP features two original Son Little compositions along with two re-envisioned classics, the Blind Lemon Jefferson composition “See That My Grave Is Kept Clean,” and the Pops “Roebuck” Staples-penned gospel classic “Wish I Had Answered” first recorded by The Staple Singers in 1963.
