Please don't EVER play this again or I'll sue you!!!! Calling Pops Staples "craptastic faux" is pretty close to libelous. He's got Jackson Browne (who wrote the song) and Bonnie Raitt singing backup vocals with him - that he recognizes the relevance of the song, even today, is a testament to how very perceptive he is. I'd be interested to know what you think is "real" music, because it doesn't get much more real than Pops Staples, unless you want to delve into Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, BB King, et. al. |

| akousa (North Coast, USA) | Posted: Jul 14, 2010 - 15:04 Pops was one of the true great of 20th Century American music. As a young man he saw virtually every great blues player, including Charley Patton, Robert Johnson and Willie Brown and learned his craft from them. |

| Dog_Ear | Posted: Jan 23, 2009 - 12:27 Patriarch of the Staples singers. Father of Mavis. Check out her recent CD -in this vein. Thanks for the headsup on both RP! |

That's just so wrong. You don't know Jackson. |

| majortom505 | Posted: May 11, 2005 - 13:06 Great Jackson Browne cover, never heard it before and I liked it quite a bit. |
| mojoman (Rocky Mountains, Colorado) | Posted: Jan 28, 2005 - 09:16 It's natural for Bonnie Raitt to sing with Pop Staples. Jackson Browne is just slumming. |

Pop Staples with his three daughters, of whom Mavis Staples got most famous (she's still active and worked with Prince, not too long ago), sang the sort of gospel, that would make an atheist fall on his knees and pray! ;) love the Staples Singers...such a great group. this is fantastic! 
Pops still has it!  |

I've heard Jackson Browne mention during a concert what a big fan he is of the Staple Singers, so I guess he managed to work something out with Pops. |
| BooKitty (My own private Idaho.) | Posted: Jun 24, 2004 - 14:54 Wow! I've never heard this before...thanks, Bill. |
| Pyro (Between a rock and a hard place) | Posted: Jun 11, 2004 - 09:36 I don't care who is singing lead....with Jackson and Bonnie in the background, ya can't lose! (No disrespect to Pops....) |
| skindy (Albany, NY) | Posted: Dec 29, 2003 - 07:26 Hmm, not so much country as rootsy blues IMO. Great song! Love the vocals here, both lead and backing... I recognized Bonnie Raitt right away, but didn't realize that was Jackson Browne in there too -- thanks for the tip! |
| britrock (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Dec 29, 2003 - 07:23 Got to get the straw out of my hair!! Getting a bit country here - first Patsy Cline, now this. (By the way - when they sing World In Motion can't help thinking about the New Order Euro'96 song!!) |
| ladyj (Owosso, MI) | Posted: Oct 28, 2003 - 11:15 'bout time I heard this again!! |
