We Say...
These 27 songs, recorded in the early '60s, show the Staples in transition from ethereal gospel group to pop-folk troubadours, and it's among their finest work.

They Say...
This two-album Fantasy reissue is an anthology of the material the Staples recorded for Riverside between 1960 and 1963. For Riverside, the Staples recorded mostly gospel but the shouting was toned down a bit. A few modern-day "message" songs make their way into their repertoire as well, including Bob Dylan's "Masters of War." Not quite as cataclysmic as their Vee-Jay material but still essential.
