Shemekia Copeland’s new album ‘Blame It On Eve,’ out now via Alligator Records, sustains a level high enough to which other contemporary blues albums struggle to reach. The list of musicians who sat in is a who’s who of talented headliners in their own right: Americana superstar Alejandro Escovedo, guitarists Luther Dickinson and Charlie Hunter, lap steel master Jerry Douglas, and young sacred steel wizard DaShawn.

Recording with a label like Sun that practically invented rock and roll when they recorded Elvis singing Arthur Big Boy Crudup’s “That’s All Right Now, Mama” is a solid move into blues. “For me, it’s just such a magical highlight. Everything I’ve been through in my career and personal life, I think to decide to take a risk and really kind go back to a love of the blues with some of my new music, to have Sun work with me — I could never have imagined this could happen at this point in my career.”

Premiering exclusively on American Blues Scene is the lyric video for the sympathetic single “Keeping My Brother Down.” Kevin started writing the song after reading about Emmett Till’s murder. He finished it by drawing a throughline to Eric Garner and the events of Ferguson, MO.

Blues artists HeavyDrunk and Watermelon Slim are combining forces for a UK tour and a new record, ‘Bluesland Theme Park,’ to be released in 2025.
