Seriously unexpected ~ Ballas Hough Band review

I’m going to make a confession.  I don’t watch much TV, so while I’ve heard of Dancing with the Stars, I’ve never followed it closely.  So when One2One Network asked me to review the  brand new Ballas Hough Band CD called BHB, I had no idea what to expect.

The founding members of the Ballas Hough Band are Derek Hough and Mark Ballas.   Fans of Dancing with the Stars will know that Derek and Brooke Burke were the winners last season, with Mark and Kristi Yamaguchi winning season 6.  That’s impressive enough, but these professional ballroom dancers have also been playing and performing music together since they were teenagers.  Talk about multi-talented!

Even though I don’t keep up with the show, I had heard of the talented dancers.  I just had no idea that they were musicians too.  Most of the songs on this pop album were written by Derek and Mark, but the first single, “Do It For You,” was co-written by new American Idol judge Kara Dioguardi.  That was the first song I listened to, and it’s my favorite from the CD so far.  This song is hip, upbeat and fast paced.  It’s perfect to get you moving, whether its dancing, exercising or cleaning the house -ok, maybe I need some music to get motivated to clean.  Whatever works.  You can watch the official video release of “Do It For You” on Youtube.  I also really enjoy some of the slower songs, such as “Underwater” and “Longing For”.  I’ve already decided I’m going to get a copy of this CD for my niece, she’s a dancer herself and a huge Dancing with the Stars fan, so I know she’ll love this.  Even if you’re not a dancer, you can’t help but dance to some of these songs, this CD really gets you moving.

Following the spring season of Dancing with the Stars, the band will head out on a summer tour across the U.S.  More information can be found at www.Myspace.com/ballashoughband

I highly recommend this fun CD, and you can buy it on Amazon now.
