Vlog 014 - Mavis Staples | Kings of Leon | Lightfoot | ...

This week on the Peaks we check out what Mavis Staples has cooked up with Jeff Tweedy on the lovely "You Are Not Alone"; check in with Tennessee rockers the Kings Of Leon, whose fifth album "Come Around Sundown" was released last week, and who appeared on Saturday Light Live over the weekend; look at a four-part DVD series entitled "Singer Songwriters at the BBC" and view selections from Terry Jacks, Gordon Lightfoot and Billy Joel; remember why we enjoy the southern blues-filled boogie rock of the Black Crowes and will be sad when the Robinson brothers wrap things up at the end of the year; and celebrate Billy Preston, whose "Nothing From Nothing" hit the #1 chart spot in 1972 and also became the first musical number to be performed on Saturday Night Live on October 11th, 1975.
