One True Vine is the ninth solo studio album by Mavis Staples. It was released in June 2013 by ANTI- Records. It is her 13th studio album, and the second on which she collaborated with record producer and Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy. Tweedy also played most of the instruments on the album, with the exception of the drums, which were played by his son, Spencer Tweedy.[7] The album was recorded at the Wilco Loft in Chicago, and while working on it, Staples commuted back and forth between the Loft (on Chicago's North Side) and her home on Chicago's South Side.[7] One True Vine debuted at #67 on the Billboard 200 chart dated for July 13, 2013, marking the highest peaking entry for Staples on the chart so far.[8]
