listen hear! spotlights a song we like and think you will too!
Contemporary blues standard bearers Shemekia Copeland andKenny Wayne Shepherd have collaborated on “Hit ‘Em Back.” The song addresses divisiveness and anger within the greater blues community. The track was recorded just two weeks ago with Copeland and Shepherd joining forces with guest performances from Robert Randolph on steel guitar and veteran blues drummer Tony Coleman.
All proceeds from “Hit ‘Em Back” will be donated to the Music Maker Relief Foundation, a non-profit whose stated mission is “to preserve the musical traditions of the south by directly supporting musicians who make it, ensuring their voices will not be silenced by poverty and time.”
