Vinyl LP Features Duet With Ben Harper!
Mavis Staples returns with a studio album produced and written by Ben Harper. Backed by Mavis' critically acclaimed live band, We Get By features 10 songs of longing, strength, and spirituality, presented with simplicity, grit and sublime beauty. Highlights include the buoyant "Anytime", the cathartic "Change", and the title track, an uplifting duet with Ben Harper.
"On the gospel-R&B legend's new album, We Get By, Ben Harper serves as Staples' newest collaborator, writing and producing a series of defiant declarations of peace, justice and heartbreak. From the charging electric blues of 'Change' to the modern soul protest of 'Brothers and Sisters,' Staples further refines the type of socially conscious artistry she rediscovered on 2017's If All I Was Was Black, in the wake of horrors like Charlottesville and Trump's child-separation policy. But Staples, who lost her sister Yvonne last year, is at her best here when she's exposing a rare vulnerability or further bolstering (and commenting on) her own mythology. Folk ballads like 'Heavy on My Mind' and 'Never Needed Anyone' find the singer bruised and bleeding with grief as she wrestles with loss and loneliness. 'Now all that we are,' she moans on the former, 'is the living ghost of our youth.'" - Rolling Stone, The 50 Best Albums of 2019 So Far, June 2019
