Ace Records are delighted to release Candi Staton's new album "Back To My Roots" on vinyl. The soul legend has recorded a sensational set of songs that draw heavily upon her gospel roots. It is best to let this great lady of soul speak for herself: "This album was recorded over several years. We took our time. I planned for it to be my last full album, so it was a labour of love and a family affair. My son Marcus produced, mixed and mastered it. My daughter Cassandra runs our label and kept all the business straight. My son Marcel came up with the bass line for ‘1963’. My sister Maggie Peebles joined me for two songs we sang as kids. My British bandleader, Ernie McKone, cut ‘Shine A Light’ in London, which is only right considering it's a Rolling Stones classic. My longtime friend William Bell was the perfect person to sing ‘My God Has A Telephone’ with me". Staton's voice has always been a powerful and emotive instrument and it has never sounded finer. No wonder "Back To My Roots" was nominated for Best Gospel Album at the 2026 Grammys, her first nomination in 40 years.
