RELEASE DATE
2/17/2009
Honest Jon's re-releases this modern soul classic by legendary U.S. soul/gospel singer
Candi Staton
, in a new card-gatefold packaging. Previously released in 2006 in the U.S. on Astralwerks. After years of gospel releases (including two gospel album Grammy nominations),
His Hands
marked Candi Staton's return to secular music with an album that collects four of her own compositions alongside songs originally written by
Charlie Rich
and
Merle Haggard
, as well as the heart-wrenching stand-out title track by
Will Oldham
(
Bonnie "Prince" Billy
). Staton's renowned musical history includes a turn with the
Jewel Gospel Trio
in the 1950s, as well as tours with
Sam Cooke
,
Mahalia Jackson
and the
Staple Singers
. In the late-'60s, she reached the top ten with her version of "Stand By Your Man" and the Grammy-nominated "In the Ghetto." She even moved briefly into disco-diva territory with her 1976 smash hit "Young Hearts Run Free."
His Hands
sees Staton returning home to the tear-soaked and aching Southern soul that first guided her career, with consummate backing support by Muscle Shoals legend
Barry Beckett
on the Hammond B3 organ, various members of
Lambchop
, as well as Candi's son
Marcus Williams
on drums and daughter
Cassandra Hightower
on back-up vocals.
