Celebrated blues, R&B and Americana vocal powerhouse delivers the
eagerly anticipated follow-up to 2018’s America’s Child, winner of the
Blues Music Award for Album Of The Year. The new release is again
produced by Will Kimbrough and features guest performances and/or
songwriting by Kimbrough, Jason Isbell, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram,
Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Orphan Brigade, Steve Cropper, Duane Eddy
and Shawn Mullins. Uncivil War finds Shemekia blazing an exhilarating
roots music trail, with many of the songs reflecting the spirit of our
turbulent times.
With Uncivil War, Shemekia’s passion-packed singing breathes fire into
solemn, gospel-drenched anthems, lowdown blues, crunching rockers and
frisky New Orleans R&B. On captivating original songs and invigorating
new takes on tracks by the Rolling Stones, Junior Parker and her father,
famed bluesman Johnny Clyde Copeland, she commands listeners’
attention while exploring life’s daily struggles and triumphs, both political
and personal.
