You're listening to sound opinions and later in the show we're going to talk with go-go's bassist Kathy Valentine about her new memoir.

We're also going to pay tribute to the late Eddie Van Halen.

But first, let's review some new music.

Unsilver war, how long must we fight this?

Unsilver war war same old wounds we opened before nobody wins and nobody wins and unself That is a little bit of Uncivil War, the title track from the 10th album by powerhouse blues vocalist

Shamika Copeland.

Greg, the first line of any bio Shemika will always be that she is the daughter of the

Texas Blues Guitar legend Johnny Copeland, but she has been making music since her mid-teens.

Her first album, 1998's Turn The Heat Up,

came out on alligator records when she was only 19 years old. She has worked with some of the key players in the history of Blues and

American Roots music ever since. She's had albums produced by Steve Cropper, the

famous session musician, and by Dr. John, who gets a very moving tribute song on her new album, Dirty Saint.

What is Shemika Copeland given us on this record? I want to save as much

time as possible to dig into what that offering is. So let's not waste any more time introducing her this is a song called

Clotilde's on fire from Shemika Copeland's new album on Civil War.

She's coming for you,

hear the chains rattle,

turn you into a slave,

another piece of chattel across the seas.

Stormy waters show no mercy.

She was Satan's daughter.

Born to steal bodies to sell.
