And Mavis Staples, one of the most enduring figures in American music, is laying it down. Sad And Beautiful World is the latest solo album from a national treasure and multigenerational talent. Produced by Brad Cook, Sad And Beautiful World spans seven decades of the American songbook - a range nearly as vast as Mavis' career - and includes reinventions of timeless songs by Tom Waits, Sparklehorse, Gillian Welch, Frank Ocean and more. Cook imagined an album in the tradition of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's Will the Circle Be Unbroken, a group of artists coming together to celebrate community - in this case, one centered on Mavis. Collaborators include Buddy Guy, Bonnie Raitt, Jeff Tweedy, Derek Trucks, Katie Crutchfield, MJ Lenderman, and Justin Vernon. Inducted into several halls of fame (Blues, Rock, and Gospel), a Kennedy Center Honoree, a winner of multiple GRAMMYs (including a Lifetime Achievement Award), Mavis is musical history. She's collaborated with nearly every major figure of her era(s), from Bob Dylan to Prince, Aretha Franklin, and Willie Nelson - not to mention countless stars from subsequent generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Chicago (2:37)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Beautiful Strangers (5:58)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Sad And Beautiful World (4:06)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Human Mind (3:12)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Hard Times (4:45)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Godspeed (2:51)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. We Got To Have Peace (3:32)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. Anthem (3:04)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9. Satisfied Mind (3:47)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10. Everybody Needs Love (4:24)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 045778807826\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.7.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48455563411611,"sku":"8750674","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-mavis-staples-sad-beautiful-world-cd-relix.jpg?v=1777604467"}],"url":"https:\/\/relix.shop\/collections\/mavis-staples-vinyl-cds.oembed","provider":"relix.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
