RELEASED 18.1.2011
Alligator Records announced plans today to release Shemekia Copeland: Deluxe Edition on January 18, 2011, which will feature fourteen of Shemekia's hardest-hitting and most deeply moving songs from her four Alligator albums. Deluxe Edition will include a fold-out mini-poster and a newly written essay by Alligator president Bruce Iglauer. Songs from her 1998 debut Turn The Heat Up, the 2000 Grammy-nominated follow-up Wicked, the 2002 Dr. John-produced Talking To Strangers, and the 2005 Steve Cropper-produced The Soul Truth sit side-by-side, creating the definitive overview of Copeland's irresistible music and her immense talents.
