Far beyond any kind of accolade or acclaim \u2014 having one of my biggest heroes sing something I wrote is the most validating and flattering thing that could ever happen to me as a songwriter and person. Thank you, Mavis. Mavis also wields that extremely rare power to take a song somebody else wrote and make it entirely her own. As the person who penned \u2018Beautiful Strangers\u2019, I feel I have every right to say: her version is better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The tracklisting for Sad And Beautiful World is:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chicago\u00a0<br \/>Beautiful Strangers<br \/>Sad And Beautiful World\u00a0<br \/>Human Mind\u00a0<br \/>Hard Times\u00a0<br \/>Godspeed<br \/>We Got To Have Peace\u00a0<br \/>Anthem\u00a0<br \/>Satisfied Mind\u00a0<br \/>Everybody Needs Love\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Click here to <a href=\"https:\/\/mavisstaples.ffm.to\/sadandbeautifulworld\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pre-order<\/a> the album.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uncut.co.uk\/news\/mavis-staples-announces-new-album-sad-and-beautiful-world-150949\/\">Mavis Staples announces new album, Sad And Beautiful World<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uncut.co.uk\/\">UNCUT<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mavis Staples has announced details of a new studio album, Sad And Beautiful World, which is released on November 7 on ANTI-.
