    Valoración: GREAT

Undoubtedly the charismatic, passionate but, at the same time, emotional voice of Shemekia Copeland has reached an undeniable quality and maturity Her broad vocal range allows her to easily move with an amazing strength and conviction, not only in blues but also in other styles like gospel or American roots music Since the birth of her son Johnny Lee Copeland in 2017, Shemekia has also started to be aware about the kind of world we are living on, the future we will leave to our children and what can be done to improve things, so her lyrics have become more deep and thoughtful and even with a philosophical point She is one of the Alligator Records artists which now publishes a new Mrs Copeland’s album, where she performs with passion, strength and honesty twelve attractive songs full of a punching intensity, surrounded by a distinguished bunch of excellent musicians and guests, such as John Prine, Emmylou Harris, Mary Gauthier, Rhiannon Giddens, Steve Cropper, JD Wilkes or Al Perkins among others The song arrangements have been designed with an extreme care so all musicians carry them on with great professionalism and good taste, which gives as a result a magnificent pleasant album, where Shemekia shines at a very high level, communicating a terrific feeling and sensitivity
