About the Artist Since the 1997 release of her debut, TURN THE HEAT UP (recorded when she was just 18 years old), singing sensation Shemekia Copeland has taken the music world by storm. Quickly conquering the blues community she holds four W.C. Handy Awards, five Living Blues Awards, and a Grammy nomination she has her sights set on music lovers everywhere. She has appeared before national audiences on Austin City Limits, Late Night With Conan OBrien (twice), the CBS Saturday Early Show, and National Public Radios Weekend Edition and has been the subject of countless magazine and newspaper features and reviews. Rock legend Robert Plant calls her "the next Tina Turner." But Shemekias her own woman, proving this as she recently headlined the 2002 Chicago Blues Festival, whipping the crowd of 100,000 fans into a frenzy and thrilling them with her astonishing voice as she stepped away from the microphone and kept singing, her voice carrying to the far reaches of the outdoor venue. And now this "diva-in-the-making" (according to CNN) is back with a stunning and adventurous new release, TALKING TO STRANGERS (ALCD 4887). Coming off the heels of her previous CD (the Grammy-nominated WICKED), the new album finds Shemekia stretching out farther than ever before, her music treading the ground where blues and soul meet rock and roll. TALKING TO STRANGERS showcases Shemekia Copeland as a fresh and creative artist full of raw talent and deep emotions who crosses genres and generations with ease. TALKING TO STRANGERS is, in Shemekias words, "the best yet." Recorded in New York City and brilliantly produced by Dr. John (who also adds his piano prowess to the mix), the album pushes Shemekia to new heights. From the first single, "Livin On Love" (written by acclaimed songwriter Gary Nicholson) to the urban snapshot "Sholandas" to the poignant "Happy Valentine's Day" to the up-tempo "Twos A Crowd" to the delightful duet with Dr. John, "The Push I Need," its easy to agree with her. Copelands range and maturity shine through, and her winning personality and sly sense of fun make this an album sure to please longtime fans as well as bring many more new ones into the fold. "This album is Shemekia Copeland," she recently told Blues Revue. "Just laid-back and funky and natural and cool. I love it." Product Description This follow-up to Shemekia Copeland's Grammy nominated 2000 release, Wicked, was recorded in New York with Mac Rebennack (aka Dr. John) producing and playing, as well as dueting on one song.
