"Shemekia Copeland is one vocalist who can cut a straightforward blues set in the 21st century and still make it sound fresh and exciting, and Outskirts of Love captures her at the top of her game, young enough to still pack a wallop and experienced enough to know just what her music needs".

"Her commanding and emphatic vocals are conceivably the best in the business when it comes to genuine blues singers. That she covers such a wide scope of genres on Outskirts Of Love might be cause for alarm in hardcore blues purists, but she has earned the right to sing the blues in any form she likes, as she makes each song her own personal tale".
Something else!

"There's no let up in Shemekia Copeland found on Outskirts of Love; her hold on the Queen of the Blues crown is as firm as ever".

"The Wood Brothers' Oliver Wood [trækker] som komponist, guitarist og producer i en varieret americana-retning ... Storstemmede og bredtfavnende Shemekiah Copeland [vokser fortsat] i sit udtryk og bliver langt mere end en stor dame med kraftfuld stemme".

"As Shemekia Copeland has expanded her stylistic scope in recent years, she has also evolved into a roots-Americana vocalist of subtlety and nuance, able to convey vividly drawn, even harrowing vignettes with the polished grace of a seasoned musical storyteller ... This is Shemekia Copeland's best album yet".
