FEATURE ALBUM.

SHEMEKIA COPELAND. DELUXE EDITION. ALLIGATOR. 2011.

As they used to say “she can carry a tune” which doesn’t really do justice to the way Shemekia Copeland delivers a song. Soulful may be a better description, powerful, passionate, and confident.

The album includes a cover of her father’s song Ghetto Child which is a Staple of her shows.

Let’s finish with 13 mins of classic George Thorogood and the Destroyers from their Live in Boston 1982 out on Rounder Records and their legendary re-working of John Lee Hooker’s One Bourbon and House Rent Boogie. The boogie woogie is in him and it’s got to come out. This album is worth following up because it features tracks not on other live album’s and captures the band in full tilt boogie mode.
