Mavis Staples – You Are Not Alone
Mavis Staples (with Jeff Tweedy) – “You Are Not Alone”
Though the Wilco frontman approached the legendary voice of The Staple Singers about working together in 2007, it took them nearly three years to make it happen. Tweedy brought seven songs to the studio, writing three more during the recording process, which took place at his band’s loft in Chicago. This gorgeous slow burner ended up being the title track, with Tweedy and Staples singing together, backed by members of his band.
