Inside MusiCast 'Pick Of The Day': "Under The Influence" by Anointed

Inside MusiCast 'Pick Of The Day': "Under The Influence" by Anointed. Selected by Loretta Sassaman.

This fantastic family trio completely blows my mind and makes me want to try harder to be a great blender as well as vocalist. They are so soulful. They play their vocals like fine tuned instruments. Their enunciation is incredible while digging deep for those soulful jazz tones.

And let's talk about the crew. Dan Huff setting the tone with smooth cool guitar, then changing to a scratchin' like he's channeling the early 70's and adding some sexy smooth jazz strings there. LOVE! His brother David Huff on drums with Terry McMillan (Renegade Gentleman w/Larry Carlton) on percussion and producer and engineer; Mark Heimermann on keys. Mark is known for his work DC Talk, Amy Grant, Chris Gaines, Garth Brooks, Charlie Peacock and more. The slamming bass is provided by the late Jackie Street.

It's hard to believe this was released in 1996. It sounds so fresh. What a groove!!
