Jun 4, 2019A little more understated than her recent collaborations with Jeff Tweedy, who similarly wrote songs and produced them for Staples, We Get By is still a gem and Mavis Staples and Ben Harper clearly hit upon something special in working together.

May 24, 2019Staples knows the value and importance of her work, and she's not interested in confusion or complacency. The electric charge of opening track "Change" sets an urgent tone from the outset. ... The only response is to listen for further instructions.

May 24, 2019Because Staples has lost little expressiveness with age, We Get By sounds surprisingly raucous and admirably rough around the edges, especially on the percolating “Anytime.” But these songs are more about the small, quiet spaces where Staples can catch her breath and steel her nerves.
