Live! Down The Road
by Marcia Ball



By Donnell Gardner "diehard SMU Mustang fan" (Vancouver, BC)

This review is from: Live! Down the Road (Audio CD)
I hate live albums so why did I buy this one? Partly because I'm a huge Marcia Ball fan and partly because I own every other album she's put out. I saw her perform at a small venue in Vancouver this summer. Halfway through the show, a friend nudges me and says I feel guilty for only paying $22 to see this.
I've seen Marcia Ball at Slim's in San Francisco and at the New Orleans Jazz festival in 2001. In New Orleans she did a stunning version of Louisiana 1927. She performs it here as well and it rivals Aaron Neville's version. She has a great voice and the sax solo is tremendous. This track alone would justify the CD's price.
If you don't own any of her albums, this would be a good place to start. The sound quality is top-notch and she has a great band backing her up.
I feel guilty for only paying $15.00 for this disc.
