Staples came to Woodstock, NY to perform as part of Helm’s renowned Midnight Ramble series, and the ensuing concert—available now for the first time on the rousing new ANTI- Records release Carry Me Home—would mark a personal high watermark for both artists. Captured live in the summer of 2011, Carry Me Home showcases two of the past century’s most iconic voices coming together in love and joy, tracing their shared roots and celebrating the enduring power of faith and music. The setlist was righteous that night, mixing vintage gospel and soul with timeless folk and blues, and the performances were loose and playful, fueled by an ecstatic atmosphere that was equal parts family reunion and tent revival. Read between the lines, though, and there’s an even more poignant story at play here. Neither Staples nor Helm knew that this would be their last performance together—the collection marks one of Helm’s final recordings before \r\nhis death—and listening back now, a little more than a decade later, tunes like “This May Be The Last Time” and “Farther Along” take on new, bittersweet meaning. The result is an album that’s at once a time capsule and a memorial, a blissful homecoming and a fond farewell, a once-in-a-lifetime concert—and friendship—preserved for the ages. Staples and the night’s soulful crew of backup singers handle the vast majority of the vocal work here, but it’s perhaps album closer “The Weight,” which features Helm chiming in with lead vocals for the first time, that stands as the concert’s most emotional moment. “It never crossed my mind that it might be the last time we’d see each other,” says Staples. “He was so full of life and so happy that week. He was the same old Levon I’d always known, just a beautiful spirit inside and out.” “My dad built The Midnight Rambles to restore his spirit, his voice, \r\nand his livelihood,” says Helm’s daughter, Amy, who sang backup \r\nvocals with her father and Staples at their performance. “He’d risen back up from all that had laid him down, and to have Mavis come sing and sanctify that stage was the ultimate triumph for him.” Artist Mavis Staples & Levon Helm Genre Americana / Country , Soul / Funk Label Anti Buying Options 2LP , 2LP Coloured Vinyl Format 2LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings This Is My Country Trouble In My Mind Farther Along Hand Writing On The Wall I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free Move Along Train This May Be The Last Time When I Go Away Wide River To Cross You Got To Move You Got To Serve Somebody The Weight Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Americana / Country Nearly New View Product Quick View Whitney Rose Rule 62 Americana / Country | Six Shooter Records | 1LP Released 11th February 2021 £10.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Whitney Rose Rule 62 £10.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Six Shooter Records SKU: nn218518 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th February 2021 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Corb Lund Counterfeit Blues Americana / Country | New West | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 17th July 2014 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Corb Lund Counterfeit Blues £20.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: New West SKU: NW5096 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 17th July 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mavericks, The Brand New Day Americana / Country | Mono Mundo Recordings / Thirty Tigers | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 21st March 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mavericks, The Brand New Day £19.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Mono Mundo Recordings / Thirty Tigers SKU: MMR002-1 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 21st March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mandolin Orange Blindfaller Americana / Country | Yep Roc | 180g, 1LP Released 16th November 2016 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mandolin Orange Blindfaller £18.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Yep Roc SKU: LPYEP2487 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 16th November 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Allison Moorer Blood Americana / Country | Autotelic Records | 1LP Released 3rd April 2020 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Allison Moorer Blood £15.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Autotelic Records SKU: ATR0011 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd April 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Ray Davies Americana Americana / Country | Legacy | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 2nd April 2024 £14.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Ray Davies Americana £14.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Legacy SKU: nn283712 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 2nd April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Hurray For The Riff Raff The Past Is Still Alive Americana / Country | Nonesuch | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 23rd February 2024 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hurray For The Riff Raff The Past Is Still Alive £28.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Nonesuch SKU: 0075597902587 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 23rd February 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Grant Lee Phillips All That You Can Dream Americana / Country | Yep Roc | 1LP Released 20th May 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Grant Lee Phillips All That You Can Dream £25.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Yep Roc SKU: LPYEP3024 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th May 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kane Brown Different Man Americana / Country | Columbia | 2LP Released 2nd December 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kane Brown Different Man £25.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Columbia SKU: 19439962161 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 2nd December 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Johnny Cash Ride This Train Americana / Country | Not Now Music | 180g, 2LP Released 1st October 2013 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Johnny Cash Ride This Train £22.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Not Now Music SKU: LPNOT2LP148 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 1st October 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Americana / Country Start again
