Each Friday I pick a song–new, old, borrowed, blue–that’s been on my mind and in my ears, and write a short post about it.
This is “The Weight” by Wilco, Mavis Staples and Nick Lowe:
I’ve posted the original version of this song before but this backstage rehearsal is too good not share. The main thing I love about watching and listening to this is just what an absolute singer and performer Mavis Staples is. Her charisma practically bursts out of that little dressing room.
