In March, 2004 Mavis Staples came to Nashville to record Hard Times Come Again No More for our first release, Beautiful Dreamer: The Songs of Stephen Foster. The day was magical. We spent the afternoon as guests of historic Sound Emporium studio who graciously donated one of their rooms for the recording session. Buddy Miller, Steve Fishell and Matt Rollings backed Mavis up while our favorite sound engineer Dave Sinko recorded the incredible performance. Mavis nailed the track on the first run-through, but we persuaded her to sing the song a few times for our own pleasure and to the delight of our special in-studio guests Emmylou Harris and Julie Miller.

  • Stephen Foster & Billy Joe Shaver share more than the most covers, they share the greatest songs!!!!

  • Amazing.

  • Great version. She really can sing it with so much feelings.

    I wonder why no one ever sings the 3rd and 4th verse to this song?
