Mavis! Staples Documentary is Excellent, by Pat Thomas

mavis_staples

I just watched Mavis! on HBO – this documentary is so good,
it even caused me to have warm feelings towards Jeff Tweedy!

There’s great vintage clips and commentary from Chuck D & Dylan, plus a warm moment with Levon Helm not long before he passed.

Pat Thomas is the author of Listen, Whitey! The Sights and Sounds of Black Power 1965-1975.
