Shemekia Copeland

I said in my last post that Johnny Copeland left a lot of great music. He also left a daughter with a powerful voice. I've seen Shemekia Copeland perform live a couple times, and she puts on an incredible show. Here is some video of her.

"Beat Up Old Guitar"



"Ghetto Child", she dedicates this song to her father. I believe he wrote this one.



""I Was Born a Penny", I believe that Shemekia wrote this one.

Johnny Copeland

Johnny "Clyde" Copeland performed in one of the Stevie Ray Vaughan videos on my last post. Here are a couple videos of him. Copeland died at the relatively young age of 60 from heart disease, but he left a lot of good music.

"Honky Tonkin' "



"Cut Off My Right Arm"



A rare performance with acoustic guitar.

Stevie Ray Vaughan

Twenty years after his death in an airplane crash, Stevie Ray Vaughan is probably still one of the most influential guitar players of all time. He was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2000, and will hopefully be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the near future.

All three videos below are songs off of the album Soul to Soul, which may have the distinction of being the only album that I ever purchased as an LP, a Cassette, a CD, and from iTunes. I am not 100% sure that I had the Cassette version, but I am pretty sure that I did.

"Look at Little Sister" performed with Johnny "Clyde" Copeland.

"Change It" "Lookin' Out the Window"
