Details: Amazon.caAfter making their mark in the early ’60s with gospel, folk, and social-protest songs, the Staples joined the Stax label in 1968. These 16 cuts find the Staples straddling the sacred and secular worlds, offering positive-message songs that aren’t explicitly religious. Backed by the rock-solid grooves of Stax’s urgent soul, the Staples produce a series of buoyant, infectious numbers. With Mavis’s gritty, emotionally charged lead vocals in command, they roll through horn-driven celebrations such as « I’ll Take You There » and « We’ll Get Over » plus superb covers of « Dock of the Bay » and « The Weight. » Pops’s warm lead vocals grace earthy self-affirmations including « Respect Yourself » and « Be What You Are. » These « secular spirituals » deftly combine socially conscious lyrics with joyous melodies. –Marc Greilsamer
