Blame It On Eve (2024)

"The title-cut opener is noir-ish, funky blues drenched in Luther Dickinson's stinging electric slide, and Jim Hoke's dark baritone sax groove; the lyrics employ the mythical figure of Eve a metaphor for the mistreatment of women. "Tough Mother" is a rocking Delta blues featuring Dickinson with poignant lyrics reflecting on life and its losses. "Broken High Heels" is a wide-open rock & roll anthem about brokenness and nerve in modern life. Copeland sings the refrain in French, framed by Fox's haunting cello. "Blame It On Eve" reflects Copeland's need to take a break from the news. Like the trilogy, it is produced by guitarist and songwriter Will Kimbrough with drummer Pete Abbott and bassist Lex Price. "Blame It On Eve" is, like the trilogy, strong and resonant without sacrificing the blues tradition's context; she embraces and expands, rendering these songs with peerless authority, emotional toughness, and determined empowerment."
