The Staples Jr. Singers

12-inch EP

A really fantastic record, and one that features new work from this legendary gospel group – working here with some original members, and some of the younger Brown family joining in on vocals – all recorded in this great intimate style that's almost more rootsy than their original work!

The set just features a bit of guitar, bass, and drums – which allows for lots of space for fantastic interplay between the vocals, shifting slightly here as one of the younger members is a female singer next to the other three male singers. This EP features a 20 minute long track "When Do We Get Paid (In Full)" – which was not on the digital release – plus shorter new takes of tunes "Tell Heaven", "I'm Looking For A Man", and "Somebody Save Me"
