Killer piano playing, rollicking Gulf Coast rhythms and tough 'n' tender singing. "Raucous, piano-based Dixie R&B...classic southern songcraft and passion." --CHICAGO TRIBUNE

There are so many rivers in my life. The Sabine, the Mississippi and the Colorado River of Texas where I've lived. The bottomless Atchafalaya, the Rio Grande, the Calcasieu, the Guadalupe - they plod and they rage, draw lines between us and gather us together, carry us away and home again. For every river there's a song and for every song, a writer. This record is dedicated to the songwriters. - Marcia Ball
