This record stirrs up to many bad memories. Mavis has lost the zest to her voice, we all gotta admit it {we still love} her. But the video shows loved ones being kicked, beat etc we dont want to go back to all that. Theres problems we face together today. fall off a horse get back on it forget the pain ride again. We want to go forward. This was ok back in the day but in all the marches on civil rights. Were was Mavis? Dont do this to us now Young people need to go forward not backwards. This stuff makes them angry at those that did not have anything to do with the problems. Playing on emotions since her voice is not all that good any more.
For me this CD is a masterpiece like 'Peace in neighbourhood' and 'Father, Father' from her father Pops Staples. The music has a sound that I have heard in no other Soul, Gospel or BluesCd - it sounds very old and at the same time modern. Today there is still a lot of pain and trouble all over the world and this songs can bring encouragement and hope even if you live in the year 2007 in the middle of Europe and not in the sixties in Mississippi.
