Mavis Staples is maybe the greatest singer of all time, and more than 60 years into her career, she remains a compelling, relevant figure in popular music. That's a result of the power of her voice and the sheer force of her personality but also of her many productive collaborations: Bob Dylan, Prince, Curtis Mayfield, Ry Cooder and, most recently, Jeff Tweedy of Wilco on 2010's
You Are Not Alone. Staples and her band arrive Thursday, December 8, at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts for a show that encompasses the many highlights of her career.
The Pitch recently caught up with her on the phone and spoke with her about Tweedy and — well, mostly Tweedy.
