A native of Orange and a resident of Austin for nearly three decades, she has that infectious Gulf Coast rhythm and blues gumbo down hot. But to her it's still a living, breathing thing, continually evolving in the roadhouses and nightclubs. It shows on her ninth album, Presumed Innocent. She's no regional purist however. Ball sings them all with an energy and a conviction that can transform the tritest of lyrics.
Ball proves once again that under the right leadership, bar bands still rule.
