HAVE A LITTLE FAITH is a stirring collection of uplifting, gospel-rooted songs deeply-seated in Staples’faith and spirituality. Produced by Jim Tullio and Staples, the album features the strongest collection of material—both originals and interpretations—Mavis has ever assembled. With help from the Dixie Hummingbirds, HAVE A LITTLE FAITH takes listeners deep into the heart of the singer Vibe magazine called one of pop’s most distinctive voices.

Heavenly - Mavis is at the topof her game and in fine form. You can feel the Spirit right through your speakers!

Have a Little Faith - She had it Then...She has it Now...One Word, One Name, Synonymous with Soul...Mavis

Seasoned chanteuse ... Ms. Mavis - I first heard this cd on a blues radio station in Houston, Texas (KPFT) and A Dying Man s Last Plea was what sent shivers down my spine. I like the entire cd but this song is the one I play over and over.

Staples is spiritually and musically convicted - Mavis StaplesHave A Little Faith Alligator On her first album of new material since 1993, Mavis Staples proves to be, spiritually and musically, convicted. She still has her instantly recognizable and dynamic voice. It distinctively features throughout 12 songs on her Alligator debut. All are uplifting and contain encouraging messages about being the best you can be, equal rights, helping each other, spirituality in God, believing in your dreams, and keeping the faith. Her unheralded backing band, features her sister, Yvonne, on background vocals. The production is very polished. Pops Recipe is rather funky and is an homage to Mavis father. He had 13 siblings, dropped out of school to pick cotton yet became a gospel and soul legend. Pops taught his children to (Accept responsibility / don t subscribe to bigotry, hypocrisy, duplicity.) Ain t No Better Than You contains equally strong lyrics such as (Change will come but not overnight / it s the waiting / that s so frustrating.) The slow and deeply moving, God Is Not Sleeping, is beautiful and brilliant. Several numbers mix gospel with R&B such as I Still Believe In You and There s A Devil On The Loose. The latter describes the evil that is brought to individuals and society. The Chicago Music Community Choir s gospel backing vocals are astounding on In Times Like These. The meaningful lyrics to these inspirational songs are a stark reminder of the strife s and struggles that many have to endure. Yet, this is healing music -- designed to help our hurting and deeply suffering world. Like an open door, Staples powerful voice and contemporary musical arrangements are welcoming so that you don t miss out on a lost opportunity. For 51 minutes, she instills faith in the deepest cynic and provides hope for the broken-hearted. -- Tim Holek

pure enjoyment - There s a reason Mavis and this CD won four W.C. Handy Awards...it is a terrific disc. The songs are uplifting and inspiring. The production is immaculate. The background musicianship is superb. And, of course, there is that strong, angelic voice. No reason to look further...buy this CD.
