Tidy Tunes 2019 #9/28 Slippery People - Mavis Staples

Slippery People - Mavis Staples
from the album
'Live In London'
ANTI-Records
Released 8th February 2019




Recorded over two nights at the Union Chapel, London back in July 2018, Mavis Staples treats us to a wonderful cover of the Talking Heads classic 'Slippery People'. She's been performing it for quite a few years now and it never fails to delight.

The new 'Live In London' album is her first live album for a decade and predominately spotlights the music she has been releasing the past few years alongside Jeff Tweedy of Wilco.

Mavis Staples is aged 79 (she'll hit the #80 in July) and she continues to play live shows and record new music. Ain't no stopping this lady!
