66 year old with stirring album! | ![]() Produced by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, looks set to be Mavis Staple's most successful album yet. “All of these songs are me, but in a different way, with a different sound,” says Mavis Staples. “The phrasing, the tempos, the arrangements are different, but the messages are the same things I’ve been saying down through the years. They’re about the world today—poverty, jobs, welfare, all of that—and making it feel better through these songs.” | While both have had major success recording separately for years, Mike and Kelly Bowling now appear for the first time as husband and wife on their debut Canaan release, Faith To Believe. With a combined 11 GMA Dove awards, 3 Grammy nominations and over 20 #1 songs, this husband and wife team travels the world performing two hundred dates a year. Together Mike and Kelly, along with tenor Jeff Snyder, have created a sound that is as refreshing as the trio sounds of the early 70s. History will note that they have been true to the excellence of their ability without diminishing or distancing the listener and this album is certainly no exception. Faith To Believe is sure to pull the listener into the safe place of our Savior s love and hold them there with rich, anointed vocals and soul-stirring songs. This is an album every Christian music lover will not want to miss!
