Recorded live in Australia in 1990. Includes liner notes by David White. Personnel : Johnny Copeland (vocals, guitar); Kenny Pino (guitar); Teo Leyasmeyer (electric piano); Randy Lippincott (bass); Dwayne Broadwax (drums).

A collection of good old Texas electric blues tracks mostly recorded by Johnny Copeland in the early '60s through the mid-'70s, between his first flush of youth and his Rounder Records-sponsored artistic renaissance, Working Man Blues is a portrait of an undeniably talented electric guitarist and singer floundering a bit in terms of career direction. As a result, this 19-track compilation is filled...

This is a keyboard-dominated blues disc, which makes sense, as Doña Oxford is a keyboard player who has toured with Shemekia Copeland's (daughter of the late Texas blues guitar legend Johnny Copeland) band. Her playing is very strong and she and her chosen instrument push the band along to great levels of energy. She comes from a musical family and was exposed to a wide variety of music when younger...
Jammed Together is somewhat of a surprise jam disc featuring three musicians with seemingly little in common. Pops Staples, Steve Cropper and Albert King. Pops Staples, the leader of the Staple singers, started his solo career at the ripe age of seventy. Pops played guitar with incredible agility for a man of seventy and his voice has been described as rough and sweet, sometimes wispy but full of soul....
A budget sampling from Copeland's five Rounder albums from the 1980s. All in all, a nice cross-section and a good introduction to this artist's later work.

Down On Bended Knees (3:26) 4. Don't Stop By The Creek (4:04)...
"You better step aside, I'm a woman on a mission," declares the daughter of the late blues guitar great Johnny Copeland, as she kicks off her fourth album in typically feisty form. Aided by a stellar cast of rootsy pros led by producer/guitarist Steve Cropper and including Chuck Leavell on piano, Felix Cavaliere on organ, ex-Zappa drummer Chester Thompson, and saxman Jim Horn, Shemekia delivers the...
From the moment she strutted onstage last night (Feb. 21) at B.B. King's Blues Club in New York, Shemekia Copeland commanded the room. Wearing tight Bermuda shorts and a matching rhinestone sleeveless top, Copeland quickly conjured a Southern backyard BBQ...

After The Storm is a two-year labor of love from ace guitar man and soulful blues singer Bobby Kyle. His debut, it demonstrates a remarkable standard of quality and an ear for detail that was the result of apprenticing for six years alongside Alabama soul/blues shouter, Handy Award winner, Eddie Kirkland; and playing and recording for six years with Grammy Award winner, Johnny "Clyde" Copeland, with...
