Mavis Staples
Have A Little Faith [Double Vinyl LP]
"A Glorious Album" --BILLBOARD Alligator is proud to release Mavis Staples’ landmark album HAVE A LITTLE FAITH in a silver vinyl 20th Anniversary edition with new liner notes by Mavis, expanded artwork, and
remastered recordings pressed on two 12-inch records at 45rpm for the best possible sound.
Mavis Staples’ legendary career has seen the gospel, soul and civil rights icon embraced by new generations of fans through her collaborations with the likes of Jeff Tweedy, Run The Jewels, Neko Case, and Justin Vernon. And it all began with HAVE A LITTLE FAITH, the 2004 album that brought her stirring, positive messages into the 21st century. After being turned down by major labels unable to see the commercial appeal of this legend’s fresh, genre-busting approach to spiritual music, it was embraced by Alligator Records, who
helped Mavis fulfill her dream and launch her solo career.
