Personnel: Donny Gerrard (vocals); Rick Holmstrom, Jeff Turmes (guitar); Stephen Hodges (drums, percussion).Audio Mixer: Tom Schick.Recording information: The Wilco Loft, Chicago, IL.Photographer: Chris Strong.You Are Not Alone finds Mavis Staples teaming up with Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, who produced the album and arranged the songs, and while Tweedy may seem an odd fit, he obviously knew what he was up to, crafting material that fits Staples' gospel-fueled vocals.

Editorial Reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- The stripped-down, Muscle Shoals-style arrangements give Mavis space to do her thing, and the song choices are spot-on...
Uncut

3 stars out of 5 -- 'You Don't Knock' is a deft gospel number that sets things off well with an uplifting call-and-response passage.
Record Collector

'You Are Not Alone, as its title suggests, intends to be a salve in hard times, and Staples rallies her most sympathetic delivery, as if comforting listeners individually.
Pitchfork

Ranked #12 in Mojo's The 50 Best Albums Of 2010 -- The results: exciting, impassioned, essential.
Mojo

4 stars out of 5 -- Little Milton's gutsy soul'n'blues 'We're Gonna Make It' is delivered unequivocally as a hymnal to universal peace; Mavis's vocal performance, intense, deep, almost a growl at times, and quite simply jaw-dropping.
Mojo

The standout is Staples' tear-stained take of Randy Newman's 'Losing You.' She wrings every bit of emotion out of the song without seemingly batting an eye.
Billboard

Mavis applies her throaty contralto with consummate passion to a mix of spiritual and secular material that includes a hauntingly harmonized a cappella reading of 'Wonderful Savior'...
Living Blues

CMJ Staples' voice has aged remarkably well, and the rasps and crackles come in all the right places...

[S]tellar...with Wilco's Jeff Tweedy producing 71-year-old gospel great Staples. -- Grade: A-
Entertainment Weekly

Rolling Stone 3.5 stars out of 5 -- Staples' voice is a rich, liquid wonder, and Tweedy's production -- thick with guitar tremolo -- is faithful to her funk and gospel work with the Staples Singers.
