You Are Not Alone, Mavis Staples' eighth studio album, came out on Anti- on September 14, 2010, with Jeff Tweedy producing, and it's a gorgeous meeting of gospel, soul and blues. Tweedy keeps the arrangements spare and warm, all woody guitars and gentle rhythms, leaving plenty of room for that voice: deep, grainy and full of the fire she brought to the Staple Singers.
The title track, a Tweedy-produced slow-burner, lands like a hand on your shoulder, just as the title promises. The record was a triumph: it became her first solo album to top a Billboard chart, hitting number one on the Top Gospel Albums chart, and it won the Grammy for Best Americana Album at the 53rd awards, her first Grammy win.
