Legendary David ‘Honeboy’ Edwards and his manager Michael Frank, owner of the Earwig Records which aim is to preserve Chicago blues, immediately recognized Les Copeland’s natural talent, both playing acoustic and electric guitar, as well as a singer and composer In 2010 Les recorded his first album for Earwig and now he comes back with renewed strength and full of vitality with his last album To Be In Your Company, whose title wants to be a tribute and honour the memory of Honeyboy Edwards, as a way to thank him all what he taught him for more than fifteen years as a real master and music partner The album includes a series of own songs, that communicate listeners the aesthetics and the spirit of old Delta blues to the actual twenty first century on an spontaneous, calm, elegant and peaceful way Nowadays Copeland has gained the respect and admiration of many other musicians and audiences, especially for the effort and task he is doing to promote and keep alive the memory and the music of blues legends like David ‘Honeyboy’ Edwards, Jimmie D Lane, Sonny Rhodes or Jimmie Lee Robinson
