iTunes Review
The daughter of Texas bluesman Johnny Copeland puts a little New Orleans in the mix, thanks to Dr. John's production of her third album. Although Copeland's best known as a blues belter, taking after her daddy's declarative singing style, these arrangements nudge her own band's screaming guitars aside in favor of keyboards, percussion, and more languid grooves. As a result Copeland explores the softer side of her honey-and-red-clay voice in tunes like "Happy Valentine's Day" and "Don't Whisper," turning in the finest, most nuanced performance of her young career. (Copeland was only 23 when this CD was released in 2002.) "The Push I Need," a duet with Dr. John, taps the classic Hi Records sound, and "Livin' On Love" is greasy funk. The guitars are turned loose for the disc's closer, her late father's "Pie in the Sky" done as a grinding rocker.
Customer Reviews
Fun CD
Shemekia's third cd (produced by Dr. John) is just plain fun. Lots of great blues songs with great hooks and fun lyrics. "Happy Valentine's Day" is just Shemekia and a piano (great stuff).
A 'Must-Have for a Blues Lover
If you purchase one CD by Shemekia, this is the album! Also, you have to see her in concert. She puts on a great show and can belt out a song like nobody's business!
great song selection
This singer in all her albums picks great songs! This one is for women because all the songs are about the experiences of ladies .....from heartache to joy. Her other albums have strong themes. She is probably one of the most intellegent and challenging singers around. If for some reason you best friend is out of town and you have problems....pick one of her albums and there will be a song that tells you about your troubles.
