Additional Peace, Love & BBQ Information
|
Produced by Stephen Bruton, PEACE, LOVE & BBQ finds Marcia Ball at a creative peak, writing or co-writing eight of the thirteen songs on the CD. From deep soul ballads to can't-sit-still party songs to straight-from-the-heart storytelling, the album will delight and inspire Ball's longtime fans and will certainly turn many newcomers into believers. Singing the praises of simple virtues in the funky title track, working the Crescent City strut of "Party Town" or coming to grips with the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in the deeply moving ballad "Where Do You Go?" Marcia galvanizes this record with soul-touching vocals and her always killer piano playing. With guests Dr. John, Wayne Toups, Tracy Nelson and Terrance Simien lending a hand, the music moves effortlessly through a range of emotions, leaving the listener dancing one minute and deeply moved the next.

you'll be lickin-your-fingers when you hear the tunes Marcia spins on this CD ~ no time for napkins; you'll be too busy dancing.
Yet another great CD from Marcia Ball, actually one of her best. John, Solomon Burke & Taj Mahal. I've seen her live in concert several times over the years, most recently this past summer. At that time, she included most of "Peace, Love & BBQ" in her show & had much of the crowd up dancing for most of the night.Glad to see it was included in the list of Grammy nominees for best contemporary blues album, along w/ Irma Thomas, Dr. Looks like the blues Grammy is likely to go to either a New Orleans or New Orleans-friendly recording artist. Actually, it'll be a tough decision; I like all of the CD's nominated in that category this year.
Excellent CD, not her very best in my opinion but it's excellent in that there isn't a single tune on the CD you don't want to hear again. I just dislike CD's where there's a song on it that you just wonder why it ever got recorded. Very good, still a Marcia Ball fan.
A Marcia Ball fan. It is more of the same southern blues, Marcia style.
This is a first rate CD by Marcia--admittedly my fave contemporary artist. If "Where Do You Go" dosen't move you emotionally you must be dead. Marcia is the most soulful voice I have ever heard in decades of music listening--and that's the idea--in a now world of cookie cutter singers and musicians Marcia Ball is a unique expressive vibrant talent-I have played her CD's for years for people and have dragged them to see Marcia in person and I never have a negative response. why Marcia isn't even more well known has always been beyond me--
