Marcia Ball's deeply emotional brand of southern boogie, blues and ballads has been soaring for three decades strong from Texas and the hearty Gulf Coast. Her passionate piano playing, swampy tunes and mighty voice have taken her five years in a row to the Blues Music Awards stage (including four wins for Best Piano Player), the NPR soundstage, the White House and Letterman. Ball captures the StageOne sophistication you.."ve come to expect, and then some. "Rollicking, playful, good time blues and intimate, reflective balladry..� Her songs ring with emotional depth." - Rolling Stone "A sensational, saucy singer and superb pianist... where Texas stomp-rock and Louisiana blues-swamp meet." - USA Today
