Live! Down the Road is a live album by the American singer and pianist Marcia Ball . It was released in 2005 on Alligator Records .
General
Marcia Ball has long been known to her fans and critics as an excellent live musician, but it was not until 2005, 20 years after her first record release, that she released her first live album under her own name, "Live! Down the Road". With Freda & The Firedogs, their first band, a live record has already been made. The CD was recorded in September 2004 in the Big Room of the Sierra Nevada Brewing Company as part of the Sierra Center Stage series by PBS . "Down the Road" contains all the great hits and is therefore a kind of "Best of ..." album. A guest appearance by Angela Strehli with Marcia Ball is documented on the CD (It Hurts To Be In Love). The album was nominated for a Grammy Award.

Criticism
- "Powerful and righteous, Ball is a killer pianist, a great singer and songwriter" - Billboard (Powerful and righteous, Ball is a devilishly good pianist, a great singer and songwriter)
- "The one Marcia Ball album everyone should own. A fiery, butt-rockin 'party" - Austin Chronical (The Marcia Ball album everyone should have. A fiery, dance-demanding party.)
- "Down the Road serves as an ideal introduction to Marcia Ball in her truest environment, live on-stage, and for her longtime fans, it is an album they have long been anticipating. A bayou party in a box." - Steve Legett All Music Guide (Down the Road is the ideal introduction to Marcia Ball's very own territory, live performances, and for her long-term fans, it's the album they've been waiting for. A bayou party in a CD box.)
