Unearthed from the gospel-soaked soul of 1970s Mississippi, When Do We Get Paid by the Staples Jr. Singers captures a powerful and heartfelt moment in music history. Originally recorded in 1975 at Statue Recording Studio in Tupelo, this album resonates with raw emotion and rich, funk-infused grooves that reveal the enduring spirit of the family’s musical heritage.
This reissue, released by Luaka Bop in 2022, brings renewed attention to an album praised by The Guardian as “powerful” and named one of the year’s best by The Boston Globe. Accompanied by a church-style booklet, the release offers an authentic glimpse into the stories and sounds that define the Staples Jr. Singers’ unique blend of soul, R&B, and funk.
