This week, I’m joined by legendary bassist Billy Sheehan of Mr. Big for a deep dive into the stories behind some of the band’s most iconic songs.
We explore the history of their global #1 hit “To Be With You” (a track that was never meant to be a single), along with fan favorites like “Addicted to That Rush,” “Colorado Bulldog,” “Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy (The Electric Drill Song),” and their popular cover of Cat Stevens’ “Wild World.” It’s a full tour through the Mr. Big discography.
We also discuss their brand-new live album The Big Finish: Live, which marks the band’s farewell tour and final chapter. Billy opens up about the origin of the band name “Mr. Big,” the story behind the “Wind Me Up” riff, his evolving approach to bass solos, and even a hilarious prank pulled by the members of Rush.
Don’t miss this episode packed with rock history, behind-the-scenes stories, and musical insights from one of rock’s most respected bass players.
