From her album Live in London, recorded on her 79th birthday and the day before.
This was her first of two albums released this year, of seven released this decade. Making this her most prolific decade for solo albums.
1960s: 1
1970s: 2 + 1 soundtrack album
1980s: 1
1990s: 3
2000s: 2 + 1 live album
2010s: 6 + 1 live album
Of course, she had a day job with the Staple Singers into the 1990s.

I saw her open for Brandi Carlile at the state fair. I was really disappointed that she didn't do any of the Staple Singers stuff. She didn't even do any from the Tweedy-produced album that got a lot of play on The Current.
What did she sing?
There was a lot of her most recent album.
She did do one old one with Brandi but it was more of a deep cut that I'd never heard.
I had a list of 4-5 songs that I thought she'd definitely do and she didn't do any of them.
