Mavis Stapes – “I Like The Things About Me”

Mavis Staples - One True Vine

The Chicago soul/gospel legend Mavis Staples has now recorded two albums with Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy serving as producer, and on the second of those, the forthcoming One True Vine, Tweedy and his young son Spencer also play all the instruments. We’ve already posted one track from the album, a cover of Funkadelic’s “Can You Get To That.” But the second song we’ve heard from it might be even funkier. “I Like The Things About Me” rides a slobbering bass stomp, and it’s got a guitar solo that shows more sidelong flair than possibly anything else Tweedy has ever recorded. Listen to it at Complex.

One True Vine is out 6/25 on Anti-.
