The daughter of the late bluesman Johnny Copeland steps up to the plate with this, her debut album for the Alligator 

imprint. Although only 19 at the time of this recording, Copeland comes to this album with a mature style and vast amounts 

of assuredness. While comparisons to Koko Taylor and Etta James will be plentiful, Shemekia has enough tricks up her 

sleeve to make this a disc well worth checking out. Eight of the 14 tunes aboard are co-written by producer John Hahn and 

strong musical support is summoned up from guitarist Jimmy Vivino, with guest turns from Joe Louis Walker and "Monster" 

Mike Welch, while the Uptown Horns show up on three tunes, including the title track. Highlights are numerous on this 

disc, but special attention should be paid to Copeland's "Ghetto Child," a nice cover of Don Covay's "Have Mercy"; 

Walker's "Your Mama's Talking"; and the strutting "I Always Get My Man." This is one very impressive debut. ~ Cub Koda
