Marcia Ball
Peace, Love, and BBQ
Peace ,Love , and BBQ is perhaps the most multi-faceted and deepest album of
Marcia's career. From the pure New Orleans fun of "Party Town", "Watermelon
Times", and "Right Back In It", to more serious commentary on Katrina and
it's aftermath with the probing "Where Do You Go" and the inspirational
"Ride It Out", two of her more arresting compositions(the former co-written
by Tracy Nelson, who also appears on it). Contributions by Dr. John,
Terrance Simien, and Wayne Toups add to the Gulf Coast ambiebce. Plus,
Steven Bruton's production is terrific,especially in the way that he frames
Marcia's performances of "Miricle In Knoxville" and "Down In The
Neighborhood" with a fascinating soundscape. Marcia has described Peace,
Love, and BBQ as the album she's proudest of in her long career, and its
easy to hear why.
