Artist: Sheila Wilcoxson
Title: Backwater Blues
Label: Burnside Records

*guest appearances by Terry Robb (also as producer) & Curtis Salgado.

Sheila's blend of Delta blues vocals & colorful descriptions of stories from the heart brings you a powerful and enticing vein of Northwestern blues. Powerful covers of Hoyt Axton's "Sweet Misery" & accapella versions of Leadbelly's "Looky Looky Yonder/ Black Betty". Throughout the album, the music is amazing, but what brings it all home is Sheila's penetrating vocals. "Blessed with a stunning four-octave range, she blends sweetness with the soulful feel of classic blues divas. On this acoustic album she nimbly moves from deep-voiced gospel to sexy torch songs." - Art Levine, U.S. News & World Report
