It happens at times that a stone cold classic from a bygone era gets rediscovered. But how often does that rediscovery happen when the band is still around? And how often does it lead to a new album? That's the surprising circumstance behind the Staples Jr. Singers' long-awaited second album, SEARCHING (out June 14). You likely know the Staples Jr. Singers-the family band from Aberdeen, Mississippi-from their first and only record, 1975's WHEN DO WE GET PAID (Luaka Bop, 2022). They made that record themselves when they were only teenagers. Finally, in a moment they've been waiting for most of their lives, the family is back with their sophomore album, SEARCHING. Recorded in 2023 in West Point, Mississippi, and Nashville, Tennessee, and produced by Ahmed Gallab, aka Sinkane, with notes by Anton Spice.
