The album was produced by Randy Forrester, Eddie's keyboard player, and released thru his company, BIG DEAL PRODUCTIONS, Inc. Members of Tower of Power, Starship, Greg Allman Band, Cold Blood and the Etta James Band horn players were involved in the recordings.
The tracks are faithful to the originals - pristine - and Eddie wouldn't have it any other way. There was little re-working of the songs on WANNA GO BACK. She is also a big part of Eddie's live show adding her youth and enthusiasm on stage to some of his most popular songs, including the Ronnie Spector part in "Take Me Home Tonight" and the Jo Baker part in "Baby Hold On To Me," where Eddie makes a heartfelt tribute to his friend Baker, who passed away in 1996. "It's a pleasure to do this with my daughter, even though my lovely wife, Laurie, and I really would rather her have been a doctor," Eddie explains with a wink and a smile. Three of the tracks, "Mockingbird," "Hold On I'm Comin," and "Aint No Mountain High Enough," feature Jesse Money's debut recordings. You had your girl, your car.what else did you need" Jesse adds to the enthusiasm for the era by proudly declaring, "Dad kept me away from the crap - he trained me to listen to the best music." "The greatest Rock and Roll ever came from that time period, "explains Eddie." It was a great time to be alive. "Good Lovin," and "Build Me Up Buttercup," are just two of the many feel-good tracks on the album. The album is an homage to the rock of the 1960's - music that the 15-year old Eddie Mahoney and his band, The Grapes Of Wrath, played in their live sets. He's ready to take things back to the days in which he grew up to show his kids - and other music-loving kids of all ages out there- why they call the songs he recently recorded, "classics."
The Proud Papa is singing legend Eddie Money.
All five of the kids in the family (Jesse and her 4 brothers) are musicians of some sort and are fiercely competitive so when one starts singing or playing an instrument, the others jump right on in! When you walk into the Money household, you had better be prepared for sensory overload! "Loud and chaotic," is what Eddie's daughter Jesse Money calls a day in the life of her creative family.
