Mavis Staple - Interesting

I started a thread about this yesterday (before the Org swallowed it confused ) so I am hoping that I can summon up the same level of enthusiasm... lol


...however...


How fantastic is this song??! love


A certain (much-missed cry) Dutch Orger er, 'hipped' whistling me to Mavis' 'Time Waits For No-One' a few months back and I have been so obsessed with 'Jaguar' drool and the title track mushy that I overlooked this one. I love it!


I'm not sure if Prince was involved in it or not but it definitely has that trademark smooth Prince funk of the late 80's (see: Lovesexy, Sheila E's eponymous album) that I absolutely adore. Those clean rhythym guitars, especially. I'd love a return to that sound.

Okay, it's not the best song ever recorded giggle but I am in love with this at the moment. cloud9


And while I'm at it... 'God Is Alive'. drool love worship

Oh, Pandy... I love you. falloff

Not just for replying to this dire thread evillol but you crack me up. lol hug

It's a great track! I'm glad you like it! woot!

I discovered this the same way as I discovered 'Pride & The Passion' by Sheila E - I was in the shower and this song started. Something about the intro (in both cases) really put me off confused and I used to skip it; however, I wasn't able to and by the time it got halfway through I was a-drooling. smile

Jaguar is the ONE on this album, though. drool Love it.

I'd love P to do a modern day equivalent of '1-800 New Funk', gathering up ex-protegees/collaborators and seeing what the results were...
