Editorial Reviews

A mainstay of the festival circuit and blues clubs, Marcia Ball is a captivating performer and a one-woman ambassador for the south Louisiana sound she loves. This, her third Rounder album, dates from 1989. It's a mostly self-composed program that doesn't quite capture the joy of her live shows, but comes close at times. Of all the new songs, "The Power of Love" is best. It's a beautifully poised performance that grows slowly and inexorably from a two-minute vocal-piano intro. Some of the songs are built around the mournful swamp-pop chord changes; others around Cajun two-steps. The album closes with country star LeRoy Parnell's "Red Hot," which has since become one of her show-closers. --Colin Escott
Customer Reviews
Great stuff
I first heard this while painting sets (for a play) late at night after a long day. It was so envigorating that we played it several times. Marcia Ball has so much fun with her songs, whether slow ballads or catchy numbers, that it's impossible not to tap one's foot along with her. Great stuff!!
First rate
This is the best of the cds put out by Marcia Ball and I recommend it highly. The performances on other Ball cds is equally good, but the quality of the songwriting on this one sets it apart from the rest. (I realize 4 stars around here amounts to damning with faint praise, but geez, there ought to be some shades of gray between the ridiculous and the sublime).
energy personified
I've seen her performance live and this CD easily captures all the energy of her live performance. "La ti Da" is "awsome. Probably the most moving (and my #1 fav) cut on the CD is The Power of Love".
