Editorial Reviews
Turn the Heat Up is a powerhouse of Blues and R&B, proving without a doubt that Shemekia Copeland is the real deal. The daughter of the late great Texas blues man, Johnny Copeland, brings huge, dynamic vocals and loads of personality to mostly new material, plus Don Covay's "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" and Johnny C's "Ghetto Child." This album features guest appearances by Joe Louis Walker, Michael Hill, "Monster" Mike Welch and the Uptown Horns.
Review
Copeland displays an unshakable confidence on the sizzling title track, Big Loving' Woman, and Your Mama's Talking; throughout the simmering soul ballad Salt in My Wounds; and while duking it out with Joe Louis walker on the storming duet My Turn Baby. Shemekia Copeland's promise is as limitless as her talent. -- Living Blues
