Don't Lose This brings to life the final works of legendary blues and gospel musician Pops Staples, melding his unmistakable guitar work and soulful vocals with warm, understated production from Jeff Tweedy. Originally recorded in 1998 by Pops and his daughter Mavis Staples, these sessions were thoughtfully completed in 2014, capturing the spirit and enduring message of the Staples family legacy. The result is an album imbued with honesty, wisdom, and a timeless sense of hope.
This release stands out for its intimate, heartfelt arrangements, where Pops Staples’ gentle authority shines through on every track. Joined by the iconic vocals of his daughters Mavis and Yvonne, as well as contributions from Jeff and Spencer Tweedy, Don't Lose This resonates with themes of dignity and compassion—a fitting close to a storied career. It's a deeply personal chapter in the history of American blues, folk, and soul.
