But Staples never feels the need to compromise her roots or reverence to mine commercial appeal. Instead, she tows the line between unwavering faith and a tireless quest for redemption, and while the majority of these songs sound like religious standards, most were written by contemporary artists. Tweedy himself contributes three tracks, among them the slow and deliberate \u201cJesus Wept,\u201d which creates one of the album\u2019s most indelible impressions. Nick Lowe offers the spirited and spirit-filled\u00a0\u201cFar Celestial Shores,\u201d and Alan Sparhawk of Low pens \u201cHoly Ghost,\u201d a reverential tune that sets the tone for all that follows. Still, the old-time revival sound of \u201cSow Good Seeds,\u201d the cool groove of \u00a0\u201cCan You Get to That\u201d and the Staples Singers standard \u201cI Like the Things About Me\u201d fuel the intensity that makes\u00a0Staples shine. \u2013Lee Zimmerman<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MAVIS STAPLES One True Vine\u00a0 [Anti-] Like Bettye LaVette and the late Solomon Burke, gospel-soul singer Mavis Staples\u2019 career has seen a resurgence in recent\u00a0years thanks to a fruitful collaboration with Wilco\u2019s\u00a0Jeff Tweedy.
