One True Vine by Mavis Staples
One True Vine is an album by Mavis Staples, released in 2013. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 5 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Can You Get To That”, on 5 lists with a best position of #72.
One True Vine, released by Anti- in June 2013, is Mavis Staples' ninth solo studio album and her 13th overall, and it reunites the gospel great with Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy, producing her for the second time. Tweedy didn't just sit behind the board: he played most of the instruments himself, leaving the drums to his son Spencer, and cut the whole thing at the Wilco Loft in Chicago. Staples shuttled between the Loft on the North Side and her home on the South Side while they worked.
The sound is spare and warm, all worn wood and space, with that deep, weathered voice right up front testifying. It debuted at #67 on the Billboard 200, the highest a Staples album had climbed on that chart, and "Can You Get To That" carried it onto the countdowns.
