	His Hands - Candi Staton, Music Downloads - Online
		Staton involves several family members and longtime associates, including son Marcus Williams (a seasoned drummer who has played with her for years), daughter Cassandra Hightower, sister Maggie Staton Peebles, and Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section organist Barry Beckett.
		Though seven of the 11 songs are provided by others (Merle Haggard, Red Simpson, Bert Berns, Will Oldham), Staton uses almost all of the album to work through the pain caused by her brutal past relationships, some of which came and went as she was churning out gospel material.
		This is a very good album, and knowing that Staton seems to have cleared a glorious path through her dependencies and abusive relationships makes it all the more sweet.

	Candi Staton Biography and Review at SoulTracks
		Alabama native Candi Staton has been a force in both Gospel and Southern Soul music for a half century, in the process defying musical industry odds and overcoming a number of personal hurdles to become one of the greatest singers of her generation.
		However, depression over marital troubles and spousal abuse and a battle with alcoholism drove Staton to a precipice, and led her in 1982 to leave the popular music industry and her dependencies for a return to her Gospel roots.
		Staton’s Gospel work always kept an eye on popular music, and her tendency to keep spiritual music contemporary won her fans and detractors, many of the latter being radio programmers.

	Candi Staton: Candi Staton: Pitchfork Record Review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Reared on church singing and gospel groups, and ironically ignoring her voice to raise a family with an abusive preacher's son, one fateful night out brought her to the attention of singer Clarence Carter and ultimately the owner of Fame Studios, where she would record all of these sides.
		The earlier tracks are tougher, with muscular bass and snares like rifle shots, as Staton testifies, pleads, and cries until she's hoarse, boasts, or else shouts aloud her tales of love gone bad or love too good to last.
		I return more to the middle of this set, though, to the country comforts of Candi's interpretations of soul as well as country standards as her voice finds new nuances in the worn words.
