It wasn’t until I heard Mavis Staples’ unapologetic purr on Arcade Fire’s newest single “I Give You Power” that I found myself wondering who this mystery woman was. As it turns out, her role in the music world isn’t really that big of a mystery — a realization that made me feel like a bit of a cultural illiterate. After schooling myself a bit on Staples’ musical history, I found out that she’d be appearing on the new album by Gorillaz, which then led me to wonder why these alt-rock luminaries were so eager to collaborate with her at this particular moment in time. After a bit of contemplation, I remembered Johnny Cash and his alt-rock revival a few years before his death. He revitalized the scene at a time when music somehow needed him, and I believe Mavis Staples has come forth with a similar mission.

“I am not as frisky as I used to be – but I feel like I am!” gospel singer Mavis Staples, now in her 70s, declares early on in this documentary about her life and career. She is an immensely colourful and lively figure with an extraordinarily deep, resonant voice. What makes the film so rich, though, is how much the light it casts on American musical history.
