The Sister of Glory
This disc got a lot of play around my house when it was released four years ago. I played it to death while I was slinging mud and pitching paint at the walls of my recording studio. We had a copy of it in the car for a long while.
We got to see her on a double bill with Dr. John one night at a little downtown park jazz festival in Vancouver, Washington. My (now) 8-year old and I danced for two hours straight, from the front of the stage to the back of the park and back. What a night!
When I played it again for the kids on the commute to school the other day, they immediately remembered it and started singing along.
It’s pure inspiration, a mix of gospel and rhythm and blues like only Mavis can do…the voice of heaven!
