Mavis Staples – Anytime
Mavis Staples - Anytime
Release Date: Out Now
I am so, so excited about this
new work from Mavis Staples with the excellent Ben Harper backing up the whole
project but while we wait for the whole album there’s another single to keep us
going. ‘Anytime’ has the kind of simple yet infectious guitar riff that you’d
expect to find on a Motown greatest hits collection but this is brand new stuff
people, brand new. As the clicked beat builds in confidence and the lead guitar
flourishes join their rhythm partners a real soul starts to ooze out of this
one and if you’re not swept up in the energy then you’ve got problems that are
beyond my help. The gospel backing vocals support the rasping lead vocal of
Staples and the perfect balance is struck. A supreme balance, some might say.
Including me.
