I guess most people will wonder exactly what this cd is about when they hear it. Why? Well this CD has a whole history that only Blues fans will recognize. Sharde (Thomas) had a Blues-famous Grandfather by the name of Otha Turner. The Fife and Drum corps that played with him was made up of friends and family members, including Sharde. Otha taught her to play this simple cane fife and she learned it and is now a current master of this lowly instrument. The music that is played comes from early African and Blues-oriented fife and drum corps that played in the South. This music was almost lost due to Otha’s death in Gravel Springs, Mississippi, aged 95, on February 26, 2003. Sharde was 13 at the time. It has been since Otha’s death that this CD has been brewing, just waiting for Sharde’s launch into her own thoughts on her deep inheritance and immersion in her Grandfather’s music.

Lovingly produced by friend, Ricky Davis, of Blue Mother Tupelo fame, it comes to life as a very real and creative weaving of both Sharde’s own thoughts on the subject of past thoughts, doubts, and future creativity. She clearly wants the listener to “Have a Good Time” as she tells us in the first Tune. But the CD tells us about how she made her way from wondering “What Do I Do?” and “Why is the Blues In Me?” to [what's the "Reason For Tha Blues"]. The clever use of recordings of Otha’s voice-overs to the inclusion of three actual recordings of the Fife Drum Band — “Sally Walker”, “Bounce Ball”, and "Shimmie She Wobble” gives the listener a nice, complete and friendly intro to this obscure sound of the North Hill Country of Mississippi. Sharde has come into her own through a great inheritance directly from the loving hand of her revered Grandfather — Otha Turner.

Sharde Thomas's debut CD, What Do I Do was Produced by Ricky Davis and recorded at DMI Studio B in Cleveland, Mississippi and at JukeTonk Studio in Hendersonville, Tennessee. The album was mastered by Mastering legend Bob Olhsson who has mastered hit albums from Motown Records, some of the greatest Rock albums to come out of the 1970s San Francisco scene to Blue Mother Tupelo's most recent album, Heaven & Earth. Sharde Thomas', What Do I Do, showcases her singing, songwriting and musicianship throughout. This fresh new album features Ms. Thomas's pure soulful voice, R&B-flavored piano & keyboard playing, down-home Mississippi Blues, and of course, her fife playing and the traditional fife & drum style - which was passed down to her by the loving training of Mr. Otha Turner - she and her family are carrying on this tradition and are featured on this new album.

Ricky & Micol Davis of Blue Mother Tupelo sing harmonies and play several instruments; as well as BMT's bassist & drummer, Barry Bays & Greg Cobb, violinist, Molly Thomas, and Sharde's cousin China, who also accompany Sharde on the album.
