Mavis Staples Is for the Children

MAVIS STAPLES digs her some younger men, but she'd rather lead them to the studio than the bedroom. "I think it really makes for a good record when you get a young head and an old person together," says the Staple Singers veteran (and self-described "golden girl") of You Are Not Alone, her new full-length collaboration with fellow Chicagoan and Wilco boss Jeff Tweedy.
