On "Easy To Love", the new studio album by Marc Broussard, you can convince yourself of its entire stylistic range during the 14 songs on it. What American critics like to call "Bayou Soul" by him is the successful mixture of blues, country and soul, folk, southern rock and pop. His great love of soul music was underlined by the convinced philanthropist on his charity album "S.O.S. 2: Save Our Soul: Soul On A Mission", which was also released in Germany in summer 2017 and on which Broussard interpreted soul classics of the sixties with impressive authenticity. Half of the royalties went to the City of Refuge charity he founded, which looks after the homeless and develops educational programmes to combat poverty. The Washington Times raves that "few modern voices are as powerful as the soulful baritone hatched in the Bayous," and a journalist for the Los Angeles Times is so enthusiastic about the vocal arts of the 35-year-old artist that he would be delighted if Broussard would only hum a few pages before him. The New York Times considers Marc Broussard, who gives an average of 150 concerts a year and has toured with such greats as Bonnie Raitt, Willie Nelson and the Dave Matthews Band, to be underestimated. The southern musician, who released his first of nine studio albums at the age of 20, is also known to only a small circle here, an insider tip. This is now to change. The first concert and promotion dates have been confirmed for the summer. "His voice stands above all others in the field. Quite simply, Marc Broussard is the reason they invented soul music."
