The Staple Singer’s first studio album, Uncloudy Day came out on Vee-Jay Records in 1959. The vocalist in the first track in this video, “On My Way to Heaven”, is Mavis Staples, the youngest of the family who was 20 years old at the time. The patriarch of the group, Roebuck “Pops” Staples, was born in 1914 and grew up on a plantation in Winona, MS until moving to Chicago around 1935. The group played local churches until in 1967 they began to move into more mainstream markets. The Staple Signers would go on to release several top 10 singles on Pop and R&B charts, like their 1972 #1 hit “I’ll Take You There”

It’s raining in Boston. It’s one of those days when music just sounds better, or at least, different. There are different core emotions involved. The water that gets in your ears makes for a completely different aural experience.

This guy is sort of a gem, please treat him like one. Mississippi Records (one of my favorite labels out there) put out an LP of the guy a while ago with some fantastic music. Tell me that that homemade instrument he’s playing (“dolceola”) doesn’t sound like heaven. Keep dry.

Artist : Traveling Echoes

Song : Looking For A Better Place To Live

Album : Oh Graveyard, You Can’t Hold Me Always

Label : Mississippi Records

Opinion : I am a Mississippi Records fanatic.  I have almost everything they have put out and it all is rad as hell.  Ranges from reissues of old Rats (pre-Dead Moon Fred Cole), Killer Gospel, Heartbreaking Blues, rare new wave (Animals + Men), to crazy folk rock (Michael Hurley). 

Anyway, I get sidetracked. Good gospel music is kinda rare especially these days. Missippippi Records knows it’s shit and this track should prove that. If it does not make you belly sink then you have no soul.  ENJOY!!!
