Description

This week, I am joined by Mr. Big’s Billy Sheehan & we’re diving into the stories behind songs from across their discography!

From their worldwide # 1 smash hit “To Be With You,” (which was never intended to be a single); to fan favorites “Addicted To That Rush,” “Colorado Bulldog” & “Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy (The Electric Drill Song),” to their cover of Cat Stevens’Wild World,” we cover the Mr. Big musical spectrum. 

We also discuss: their new live album “The Big Finish: Live” which serves as the band’s triumphant victory lap, given their retirement from touring; where the band name “Mr. Big” came from; the unique story behind the “Wind Me Up” riff; Billy’s unique approach to the bass solo, and how his has evolved over the decades; a little joke the members of Rush played on the band; and so much more!
