Review

Living Blues (9/03, p.89) - "...Ball holds her own as a composer - her originals sound like timeless classics, comparable to Dan Penn's seminal catalog of southern soul masterpieces..."

Recorded at The Hit Shack, Austin, Texas.

SO MANY RIVERS was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.

Growing up in the small town of Vinton, Louisiana, just across the border from Texas, Marcia Ball spent her childhood absorbing the rich sounds of both New Orleans and the eastern part of the Lone Star State. These influences have continued to shape her music right up through her 10th solo album, SO MANY RIVERS. Produced by respected sideman/songwriter Stephen Bruton, Ball's 2003 outing finds the lanky beauty constantly changing gears as her impressive singing and piano playing ranges from the gospel-tinged raucousness of "If It Ain't One Thing" and the rollicking rhythms of "Foreclose on the House of Love" (complete with potent horn arrangements) to a zydeco-flavored reading of Danny Timms's "Honeypie."

Sprinkled throughout are six Ball originals including the sanctified splendor of "Give Me a Chance," the bluesy stroll of "Give It Up (Give In)" and the sly swinger "The Lowdown." Ball's most impressive moments come when she eases into a laid-back reading of Eddie Hinton's "Three Hundred Pounds of Hongry" and a heartfelt version of Arthur Alexander's "If It's Really Got to Be This Way" that does justice to the memories of both late southern legends.
