Anti Records will release finished (and final) sessions tapes featuring Pops
Staples in a new album called Don’t Lose This. This release, so named because,
after the sessions, Pops gave the unfinished tapes to Mavis Staples, and told
her, “don’t lose this, Mavis”, were recorded when Roebuck “Pops”
Staples was quite sick, He passed from this world in 2000.
Over the years, Mavis brought together the talent of Jeff Tweedy to fill out the
sessions recordings. The finished product is considered by Mavis to be a great
swansong for one of the most important guitarist in the gospel market. The
“new” album will feature ten tracks.
