Sound in my Faith

I'm not sure I believe in Jesus, but I do believe in the Staple Singers. Their musical journey from gospel to R&B is worth repeated listening and it parallels their physical journey from Down in Mississippi to Chicago.

I listen to the Staple Singers whenever I need a boost and also to check myself. I've always liked the sound of hand clapping in music and no one does it like the Staple family. And, Pop Staples sounds a lot like my grandpa Jesse who is also from Down in Mississippi.
