Mavis Staples has been in the studio working on a new album with Wilco's Jeff Tweedy and the result, One True Vine, comes out on June 25. (Read all about it in our upcoming Summer Music Issue, on stands June 17th!) Staples, of course, has been recording since the '50s, when she began performing with her siblings as the Staple Singers. They had tons of Top 40 hits, including "I'll Take You There" which went to #1 in 1972. This is her second outing with Tweedy after 2010's You Are Not Alone. In this clip for upcoming single "I Like the Things About Me," Mavis is seen working on the album in Chicago with Tweedy -- and that's his son Spencer on drums.
