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.

Louisiana Blues Musicians

"Me, My Guitar, and the Blues" Chris Thomas King

Louisiana Musicians Who influenced today's blues

"I'm walkin' to New Orleans" Bobby Charles Guidry

Louisiana Treasures

"Brickyard Blues" Allen Toussaint

"For me the blues is a release valve. A lot of people don't understand that you got all types of blues.
You got happy blues you got some blues you have when you are sad, but the blues are not always a
depressing thing. A guy can have a pocket full of money and still have the blues! Sometimes I will get up
on the bandstand and I will be feeling real bad, but man--when I get to singing--
I come down and I will be as high as a kite!"  Tabby Thomas

Work In Progress
We have a lot of musicians to cover
