I just recently discovered Shemekia. Now, I've got 10 albums to buy. Real blues. Nothing better.

[@christinamodern106]

Anyone else has got goose bumps? THIS SO IS SOOO POWERFUL

[@miesha1454]

S Definitely so true

[@sigapherve]

epic

[@92babba]

We`have the luck to see her a few years ago in Bern, Switzerland on a small stage. What a voice. Amazing.

[@XannyDeVitto9339]

I hope you’re doing well ❤

[@GC-ho9zn]

Goose bumps and a stiffy!! LOL This white boy loves his S Copeland.

[@needtoknowbasis3499]

I watched Shemekia sing this song over 20 years ago in a small restaurant-like setting in Houston. It gave me chills then and still does, if not more so. Could hear it a 1000 more times.

[@leepifer7645]

I discover but not only. I was at a concert in 1992 of Johnny Copeland in Gandia, Spain. Yes ! At the end of the set, he introduced her 10 years old daugther for singing a song. We were impressed. And here she is ! All great love to her, her dad and way of the Blues !

[@markchronister4620]

Incredible voice! Love her time in Sirius XM time. Yep, I get the chills!

[@rogercohn]

She has "IT". Immediately recognizable voice that I can't get enough of

[@tiphonydames9956]

How is the crowd not louder for this performance??! It snatched my damn wig clear off. You Go Shamekia grrl.

[@wibbledee]

Her voice is as strong and beautiful as Mahalia Jackson's. Absolute perfection!

[@normangeuder7806]

This woman's singing gives me goose bumps! The guitarist and bassist are excellent, also. Heard her on 'Blues Town' with Tom Marker, here in Chicago, home of Alligator Records.

[@rogercohn]

She is sooo good and humble. Young gal just getting started. Her voice is unmistakable

[@julio_farias]

Such a powerful voice!

[@peterallemann8043]

When I hear this song I could cry for joy every time, so beautiful

[@ronaldthompson9255]

The blues guitar is played by Ken Scanlan. He is from Oregon. He plays around Portland when he's not on tour.

[@ParadiseLiving23]

she's singin' the story of my life~~~

[@Bardhylius]

How can you hate on black people? National treasure!

[@phillipmarlowe0525]

Easy. Watch the news and see how they victimize everyone.

[@ozonewagle]

Because of people like you . Just listen to the music and beauty of her voice. No judgement

[@IIExhibitAII]

Since everyone is mentioning her voice I wanna go on to mention that insane bass line towards the end..

[@heikewernerdottir6904]

[@piandey]

talent 5 étoiles !!! superbe voix .....niveau J.Joplin et B. Hart ! Et le soliste ....magique !

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Heard about her on NPR this morning and yeah, this is great. It sounds like she has a new album out.They played a country song she did on there that sounded hilarious and then there was also a Cajun song and that sounded incredible, and then there was some sort of more like a slave song thing which sounds like it has a lot of depth to it.

[@Smoke7429]

Voice & instruments -Amazing!

[@TheVatonaught]

I got to see her father many years ago...then one day in Monterrey I got see her...great performances.

[@pauloleviathan1480]

[@bffdolls7667]

I never win at love At love I always lose I keep looking for a good man And I ain't got no clue I can't find no one to love me I guess I'm married to the blues Married to the blues There's a picture by my bedside In a frame that's got a crack Of one of my old lovers Who ain't never comin' back He swore he'd never leave me Then I saw him start to pack Start to pack Oh when you're married to the blues Married to the blues You don't get no band of gold All you get is a lonely cab ride To a bed that's always cold When you're married to the blues Forget that honeymoon All you get is luke-warm lovin' That's over way, way too soon There's a letter inm why pocket It's all torn Torn and frayed The only thing Only thing he left me When he ran Ran away Now when you're married to the blues It gets more lonely everyday Oh... All these blues I knew he would leave me He was never comin' back He left me a torn letter Then he ran away Ran away Married to the blues Oh... All these blues You get so lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely Married to the blues

[@bigrickshaberdashery2759]

just awesome and sweet band

[@leandrojungles3497]

Maravilhosa voz e interpretação!!!!! Bravo!Bravo!

[@PedroCucuchucho]

A mi modo de ver, el blues de Chicago ha sido dominante en las últimas décadas. Poco se oye de otras clases de blues.

[@joaquinignaciolarrivey3335]

Como amo el blues.. Dios.

[@SorenIngemann]

My favorite song. 😍

[@jmaldo1076]

Wow! Chilled!

[@LivingTheDream6871]

Lay back close your eyes and drift.....

[@testedtruths6978]

Your in the right spot alright, and so am I. The only difference between us, is that I want a good woman.

[@tanyalanovets]

Does anybody know the name of the guitar player? Amazing performance!

[@TURQ64]

Ken Scandlyn, Arthur Nielson , with the Les Paul, usually covers the lead spot..

[@danielguettinger4694]

Arthur Nielsen

[@testedtruths6978]

Man, can this woman sing or what?

[@johncunningham3475]

👍

[@user-mg4sr1ls2s]

[@taillandierjp1468]

[@spandanhetfield]

The crowd is so dead. I'd have been shouting if I was listening to her.

[@sszorin]

The crowd is respectful. There is the time to shout when the music's over.

[@oldmanonthehill56]

To me its an insult to set back and show no emotion. Music is about emotions and feelings. If it ain't moving u then go on. A singer wants to see their performances move a person's feelings.

[@dianed2448]

@@oldmanonthehill56 Agree 100% the music hits your soul

[@scottorrramirez]

pretty much.. i had the same reaction, playing in Berlin, back in the day... people were still... quiet... and at the end, exploded wwith cheers

[@tifazm5565]

When you're feeding your soul with good music, there is no time for shouting... because you have already travelled somewhere I'd describe as heaven.

[@praticandomeuingles]

Now I know where Lana Del Rey´s inspiration comes from: the blues! :)

[@billybaldwin8918]

What the hell is with that vibrato?!

[@Dante-fk3ku]

She is good. But Danielle Nicole does a better version. Danielle Owns the song in her version.

[@chistletoe.chistletoe7723]

Shemikiah wrote it ....

[@Dante-fk3ku]

Chistletoe .Chistletoe I know she wrote it.

[@olivierriviere7527]

I agree. There is more blues in Danielle Nicole's version even if Shemikiah wrote it. Shemikiah's version is nice, Danielle's tears you apart.

[@83roadstar]

I think they are equally better than anyone else's version

[@draganakuzmanovic911]

I must agree on this. Shemekia's overused, wide vibrato is ruining it for me.

[@BUFONADA666]

ACH ...

[@michaltomala5396]

;)

[@yellowcat1310]

just nowhere near as good as Danielle Nicole and The Nortons
