Soul Stream Posted August 22, 2005 Report Posted August 22, 2005 Her and that band (and many like them that flourished in the 90's and up) are what killed the blues for me. Quote
kh1958 Posted August 22, 2005 Report Posted August 22, 2005 I would recommend instead buying the recordings of her deceased father (Johnny Copeland), a very fine Texas blues guitarist--for example, the album Copeland Special, which features George Adams. Quote

Saw him live and spoke with him in Ann Arbor some years back. He knew how to put on a show! Quote
John L Posted August 23, 2005 Report Posted August 23, 2005 (edited) Interesting responses. I too have never understood what the fuss is about Shemekia. But she wins all the polls and blues awards, including those granted by people whose opinions I respect very much. I just can't get with her. Edited August 23, 2005 by John L Quote
kh1958 Posted August 23, 2005 Report Posted August 23, 2005 I don't care for her either. As for new blues, that fellow Otis Taylor is making interesting music. Interesting responses.
