The Ballas Hough Band - A music review

I’ve been a HUGE fan of Dancing With The Stars for four seasons…partly for the entertainment of seeing the unintiated become dancing pros…and partly for the yummy eye candy…and BOY! does DWTS provide the yummiest brand of eye candy.

Hough on the left and Ballas on the right. NOM!

Two of my favorite pro dancers through the last couple of seasons have been Mark Ballas and Derek Hough, they are young and charismatic.  Their energy is just infectious.

But when I heard they were putting out a CD, I almost laughed.

Much like when (most) actors think they can sing or (many) singers think they can act, it ends in cringe-worthy performances on both ends. *cough* Don Johnson *cough*

Surprisingly, Mark and Derek were musicians long before they were DWTS champions…both starting at seven years old and working together through the years to make beautiful music together.

While their dancing might be their current claim to fame, I have a feeling their music is what’s going to sustain it.

The Ballas Hough Band’s new CD BHB is everything fun and enjoyable and listen-worthy.  It is less in-the-box than typical boy-band fare, their music shows a varied set of influences, if you enjoy Maroon 5, Justin Timberlake, John Mayer, you’re going to like this cd.  It bounces from a funky hip-hop-ish dance number to a tingly ballad.  Each song is individual and unique, never leaving you to feel like you’re listening to the same song over and over again.

It’s a clean listen as well, from a mama who gets more and more frustrated with the lack of appropriate music for my kids to listen to.

You can find out more about the band, via their video channel and follow the band on Facebook and MySpace for a listen to the music (I recommend it!), news about upcoming tour dates and news. You’re definitely going to want to buy your cd today, or give a download on ITunes.
