商品の紹介
Given the vitally important place the blues holds in the history of black culture, its surprising (and perhaps a bit disappointing) that so many contemporary blues artists dont deal with more political and social issues in their songs. But Shemekia Copeland is not one of those performers, and her 2020 album, Uncivil War, finds her singing about Americas racial and cultural divide with heart, soul, and compassion. Copeland isnt carrying a placard for any particular party on Uncivil War, but she isnt shy about speaking her mind about economic inequality (Money Makes You Ugly), the casual racism of urban life (Walk Before I Ride), Americas obsession with firearms (Apple Pie and a .45), prejudice in its many forms (Give God the Blues), and the growing failure of opposite sides to simply listen to one another (the title cut), while Clotilda’s on Fire offers a valuable history lesson about the last slave ship to reach the United States. Not everything on Uncivil War carries a message, but Copeland sings with strength and clarity on every track, and she can wail with churchy fervor or sound sly and slinky at will. Uncivil War delivers music strong enough to support Copelands vocal fervor; guitarist Will Kimbrough produced the album, and hes given the material a tough, no-frills sound with just the right amount of grit, as well as bringing in some first-rate guest stars including Jason Isbell, Duane Eddy, and Webb Wilder, as well as bluegrass heroes Sam Bush and Jerry Douglas for the acoustic title tune. Copeland sings hard on Uncivil War, but with a sense of control and a fearless desire to be heard, and she never overdoes it even at her most urgent -- her force is all the more effective for its precision. And somewhere, the late Dr. John is tipping his hat to Copeland for her witty and sincere tribute Dirty Saint. Shemekia Copeland is one of the best singers in contemporary blues, not just for her voice but for her courage to use it to say something about American culture, and Uncivil War shows good times and a social conscience can co-exist on the same LP. ~ Mark Deming
