Background notes
Archive material and source history
Shemekia Copeland grew up around the blues as the daughter of guitarist Johnny Copeland. She started singing early, influenced by voices like Koko Taylor and B.B. King. Her first album came out in 1998 when she was still a teenager, and she's been putting out records steadily since then.
Her voice has a direct, unadorned power that works well on songs like 'Ghetto Child' and 'Married To The Blues.' She doesn't oversing or lean too hard on vintage mannerisms. The music is straightforward blues and soul, built around her delivery.
She often works with guitarist and producer Will Kimbrough, and her touring band has included keyboardist Jon Cleary. She keeps it fairly simple, a strong singer working within a classic form.
