Peace, Love & BBQ

The album was produced by Stephen Bruton. Ball wrote or cowrote eight of the album's songs. Terrance Simien contributed to the album. Tracy Nelson cowrote and duetted on "Where Do You Go?" Ball played accordion on "Miracle in Knoxville", about the death of a preacher during a tent revival. ==Critical reception==

The Times Colonist wrote that Ball "continues to mine the Gulf Coast's rich seam of swampy R&B with this collection of ballads and good-rockin' blues." The Austin Chronicle noted that "the slight gruff of Ball's voice adds character where it lacks versatility and fervor, but her fingers are magic on the 88s and range through styles with ease." The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette concluded that, "with all its elegant, perceptive songwriting, rocking music and soulful presentation, the saucy BBQ is a very fine album." PopMatters determined that "Ball's strong, unapologetic voice disrupts any idea of easy packaging or smooth listening, which means we have to take the words she is belting seriously." ==Track listing==
