Mood Elevator

Mood Elevator is the second album by the Winder, Georgia-based singer-songwriter Jack Logan, recorded in conjunction with a group of musicians known as Liquor Cabinet.

[2] Unlike Logan's debut album, Bulk, the 17 songs on Mood Elevator were recorded in a 16-track studio that had been set up in a friend's barn in the small town of Royal Center, Indiana.

During the first night of recording, Logan recalls wanting to test out the equipment, after which a member of Liquor Cabinet soon wrote a guitar part.

"[6] Other favorable reviews included one in SF Weekly, where James Sullivan wrote that on Mood Elevator, "He [Logan] and his group identify the finer points of rock's more indulgent styles and condense them into hard, memorable nuggets,"[7] and one in the Boston Phoenix, which described the album's songs as "fascinating fragments of stories and thoughts that are too real to ignore.

[8] Geoffrey Himes wrote in the Washington Post that Mood Elevator "...lacks the breathtaking breadth of "Bulk," but it does boast half a dozen of Logan's finest efforts", and cited "Just Babies" and "Vintage Man" as among the album's best songs.
