"
Marcia Ball is a woman with a reputation. The Texas-born,
Louisiana-raised pianist/vocalist/songwriter is famed worldwide for
igniting a full-scale roadhouse rhythm and blues party every time she
strolls on stage. Ball's groove-laden New Orleans boogie and rollicking
Gulf Coast blues have made her a one-of-a-kind favorite with music fans
all over the world. But she's also a master at transfixing her audience
with an emotionally rich, passionately sung ballad. The Boston Herald
says, "Ball plays masterful, red hot tracks from the Texas-Louisiana
border. Her voice can break your heart with a ballad or break your back
with a rocker." On her new CD, Roadside Attractions (her 15th solo
recording), Ball's songwriting is at the forefront, ranging from tales
of wild parties to stories of twisted motel affairs to declarations of
the enduring power of love and family. It is inspired by her years on
the road and from insights gained from everyday life, making it her most
autobiographical album. Roadside Attractions is certainly more than
capable of starting a no-holds-barred bash. But more than that, it's a
tour-de-force of Marcia's seemingly endless talent, and among the most
emotionally moving recordings she has ever made."
