		Marcia still demonstrates her Jerry Lee-ish piano playing here, on the opening Red beans, the third track Down the road and particularly on her cover of Joe Ely's Fingernails, but those are not typical of this particular album.
		Marcia Ball is one of the countless legend of rockers who have toured the Bars across American forever.

	arborweb reviews - review: Marcia Ball
		Marcia Ball has been known for blues songs based on her sharp, precise piano playing — party music for those who enjoy watching the piano player as much as dancing.
		Ball looks fabulous these days—between her and Emmylou Harris, gray hair is getting to be a fashion statement.
		But for the most part Ball's new work is both mature and ambitious, and a trip to see her in concert promises both a good time and a way to investigate just how many different kinds of songs are being made from the basic stuff of the blues these days.

	The Austin Chronicle Music: Spangles and High Heels: Long, Tall Marcia Ball
		Ball had another reason for wanting to play close to home, one she hadn't shared with her new band: She was pregnant.
		The harmonious weave of both country and Bayou boogie in Ball's repertoire was natural given her "dual citizenship." In 1949, when Millard and Hope Mouton of Vinton, La., were expecting their second child, the closest hospital was in Orange, Texas, just over the Sabine River and across the state line.
		Marcia married her sweetheart Bob Ball in the spring of 1969, traveled the country in a VW camper, and in 1970 relocated to Austin.

	Marcia Ball: Live! Down the Road - PopMatters Music Review
		Marcia Ball, a 35-year veteran of the Austin, Texas house-rockin' scene -- a woman with her share of awards and a long line of albums on both Rounder and Alligator Records -- knows of what she sings.
		The Marcia Ball story is this: She grew up near the Texas-Louisiana border in a family of piano players, eventually discovering Irma Thomas, Professor Longhair, and the other classic New Orleans pianists.
		Ball is everything you ask of her -- delivering convincing shouts where they're needed, seductive blues lines that slide in the gaps, a syncopated piano introduction on "Louella" that moves you in all the right places.

	Marcia Ball LIVE Review
		The Texas born, Louisiana bred Marcia Ball plays piano and sings music that is deeply rooted in Louisiana rhythm and blues blended with Texas blues and a touch of rock and roll.
		Ball is a great entertainer and an exceptional piano player who started learning her craft at the tender age of five.
		Ball's opening segment of the show concluded with an excellent version of Randy Newman's classic tune, "Louisiana" and a boogie piano number called "Big Shot," that brought the audience to its feet and had several in the crowd dancing in the aisles and other more open areas of the theater.

	Marcia Ball: Presumed Innocent - PopMatters Music Review
		Marcia Ball is most renowned for her superb piano playing, especially her steamy stride piano.
		However, Marcia always shows good pacing and spices her material with blues, swamp boogie, and Gulf Coast rhythm and blues.
		Marcia occasionally has a delicate light stagger to her playing on the top keys that breathes a natural familiarity with Louisiana rhythms.

	Amazon.com: Presumed Innocent: Music: Marcia Ball (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Raised near the border of Texas and Louisiana, Marcia Ball continues to claim dual citizenship for her music, forging a rollicking roadhouse groove that has never sounded richer or more vital than it does here.
		With her piano style steeped in the soul of New Orleans, Ball and coproducer Doyle Bramhall enlist the Cajun accordion of Pat Breaux and the bluesy Texas bite of Pat Boyack's guitar and Gary Primich's harmonica on a collection that holds its own with the classics that inspired her.
		With her debut album on Alligator, Marcia Ball has produced an album that perhaps is not as much a good-time, rollicking disc of New Orleans influenced RandB as her prior albums.

		As good as her studio recordings are, they have a certain airless perfection that doesn't quite fit the rollicking piano genius of Marcia Ball.
		Ball recently told The (Wisconsin) Post-Crescent that it was a perfect time to do the live recording fans had been clamoring for.
		Ball said the band was "sweetened" for the recording, with the addition of Hammond B-3 player Red Young, trumpeter Al Gomez and Mark Kazanoff on baritone sax.
