Rollicking, playful, good-time blues and intimate, reflective balladry . . . her songs ring with emotional depth.

—Rolling Stone

Ball is a killer pianist, a great singer and songwriter. Potent blues, sweet zydeco, soulful, fast, and furious Texas boogie.

—Billboard

Marcia Ball, the 2018 Texas state musician, has won worldwide acclaim for her ability to ignite a full-scale roadhouse party every time she takes the stage. Born in Orange, Texas, and raised in Vinton, Louisiana, Ball’s deep Acadian heritage and lifetime spent absorbing Gulf Coast rhythm and blues are evident in her original songs and the classics she covers. With each new release, Ball’s reputation as a profoundly soulful singer, a boundlessly talented pianist, and a courageous, inventive songwriter grows.
