NEW RELEASES

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.

The Baton Rouge Blues Society is a non-profit organization that supports the Blues in Baton Rouge
and the surrounding areas. We are dedicated to cultivating appreciation and respect for the blues
and encouraging local Blues Musicians.

                              Baton Rouge is known as the Blues music capital of Louisiana.
                       It's situated on the banks of the Mississippi River, the great blues highway.
