Peace Love and BBQ

• Shrink-wrapped

After 10 critically praised albums and literally thousands of packed, raucous live performances including stops in Canada, Spain, Italy, Ireland and the Cambridge Folk Festival in England, Marcia Ball is an internationally acclaimed icon of Austin and New Orleans roots music. This is her first new studio release in five years and features some of the most stirring performances of Marcia's career. 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. Dr John, Tracy Nelson, Wayne Toups and Terrance Simien guest.
