    Blues Great Shemekia Copeland has been nominated for a 2010 Blues Music Award in the "Contemporary Blues Female Artist of the Year" category. For more than a decade, Shemekia Copeland has been paving a road that will inevitably lead to her reign as Queen of the Blues. By some standards - numerous blues awards in the U.S. and elsewhere, a Grammy nomination, a resume that includes work with musical titans like Dr. John and Steve Cropper and film giants like Martin Scorsese and Wim Wenders - she may already be there. For as appealing as that regal title may sound, though, and for as much as she respects the rich legacy of artists like Bessie Smith, Etta James or Koko Taylor, Copeland insists that there's more to who she is and what she does than a twelve-bar ballad or a Chicago shuffle could ever convey.
