| Description | The Mood Groove was formed by Ed Balldinger and JK Northrup as an outlet to create and record music that stretched their collective imaginations and to invite listeners to something a little different. Their goal was to be "Out of the box" and not be confined to any particular style or genre, yet to be a part of them all. As JK says, "It is musical ear candy for the brain, so the third eye can see again!"Ed Balldinger is an amazing, if not eclectic lyricist, or "Wordsmith" and published poet, as well as a talented guitarist with a wide variety of musical influences. JK brings his skills as a songwriter, producer, recording engineer and guitarist. Together they have combined their song-writing skills to create 10 songs in the vein of Rock, Funk, Psychedelic, Soul, Blues, Experimental, Gospel and most of all, Mood and Groove! JK and Ed brought in the powerhouse rhythm section of Larry Hart on bass (Gypsy Soul, Montrose, King Kobra, Shortino-Northrup) and Glenn Hicks on drums and vocals (Gypsy Soul, Shortino-Northrup). With much of their performances being played powerfully off the cuff, it adds an element of "live" to the album! Glenn and Larry both played with JK in Gypsy Soul with Johnny Edwards on vocals from 1987-1989, and then again on several songs for the Shortino-Northrup "Back On Track" album in 1993. Adding female backing vocals by Diana Short gives a Pink Floyd, Zappa sound to some songs, while having other singers on a few songs to add a variety of vocal textures and feel. If you like bands such as Living Colour and Mother Finest then this is the album to add to your music collection! |
