Amazon.com Once upon a time (circa 1998), the daughter of a blues legend burst onto the scene with her own potentially legendary debut, Turn the Heat Up. I say "potentially" because, although all the necessary ingredients were there, they didn't quite represent the best of what Shemekia Copeland is obviously capable of. A few more years to hone her voice and allow it to reach its natural maturity, and Copeland could produce an album that would challenge some of the reigning royalty of the blues. Wicked is not that album. It is, however, a stunningly good piece of work, with solid songs (Copeland's contributing more to the songwriting, too), a greater variety of styles, and some serious genre-bending that will turn the heads of those used to the more straight-ahead blues of Copeland's last effort. The album even opens with a rocker, "It's 2 a.m.," and Copeland pokes fun at all those pseudo-R&B true-love ballads littering the airwaves lately with her own "The Fool You're Looking For." The fact that Wicked still represents more potential than realization is actually quite refreshing, too. It gives her growing legions of fans something to look forward to, as we realize that the best is still yet to come. --Genevieve Williams Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsGOOD ROCKIN BLUES howard lee teitel | GLENDALE, NEW YORK United States | 09/16/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "SHEMEKIA COPELANDS SECOND CD IS A COLLECTION OF ROCKIN BLUES WITH A FEW TOUCHES OF BLUES WITH A FEELING. CD OPENS WITH ITS 2 AM A ROCKIN UPTEMPO SONG,MOST OF THE 13 SONGS OF UMPTEPO BLUES.MY TWO FAVORITES SONGS ARE COVERS "STEAMY WINDOWS" AND THE BEST SONG THAT SHOW SHEMEKIA TRUE VOCAL POWER ON HER FATHERS SONG "ITS MY OWN TEARS". THE LEGENDARY RUTH BROWN APPEARS ON ONE SONG "IF HE MOVES HIS LIPS". CD CONTAINS ON ACOUSTIC NUMBER "BEAT UP GUITAR" REMINDS YOU OF THOSE FRONT PORCH JAMS. SHEMIEKA LIVE BAND PLAYS ON ONLY ONE CUT AND THE REST IS JIMMY VIVINO ON GUITAR AND BAND AND ALSO THE UPTOWN HORNS." I love you Shemekia Greg Boissonnault | Wilbraham, MA United States | 01/21/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "I am a senior in High School and I am taking a Blues course with Art Tipaldi (You might know him), and he introduced me to Shemekia. We were supposed to get a discount on the CD through different people, but it was taking so long that I went out and bought the CD (I couldn't wait), and it was worth it. Shemekia delivers the power to hold you in your hand and mold you into her emotions. She has so much emotion and power in her voice to make her feel a part of her. The CD also has a track with blues singer Ruth Brown, in which they completely dis men (I was a little hurt but I got over it). I was lucky enough to have Shemekia come and visit my class during January 2001, and I completely love her. Take the first chance you get to go out and buy the cd, you'll love it!!! It gets the Detroit Five Star Rating!!" Darlene edwards(I got the 1-2-5 blues ) darlene edwards | USA | 11/07/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "this message is for shemekia copeland, i love you, and your music. continue to knock them dead out their . keep up the good work, and we love you. dearly yours, you know who this is. love you bye-bye."
