NO DEPRESSION | Shemekia Copeland Makes Musical and Social Statement on ‘Uncivil War’
Shemekia Copeland doesn’t need any amplification. As anyone who’s seen her live can attest, her message comes across loud and clear, lyrically and sonically. She can fill a room with her voice without raising it, and raise the roof when she turns it on full blast. Her genre-hopping gospel/soul/blues delivery puts an added dimension to anything she tackles as an interpreter or an originator.
