MR. BIG: New Studio Album Due In January

October 19, 2010

Reunited hard rockers MR. BIG will release their new album in January 2011 via Frontiers Records. The band recently entered a Los Angeles-area studio with producer Kevin "The Caveman" Shirley (BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION, AEROSMITH, JOURNEY, DREAM THEATER, THE BLACK CROWES, LED ZEPPELIN) to begin recording the CD — the first to feature all four of the band's original members since "Hey Man" in 1995.

According to MR. BIG bassist Billy Sheehan, the forthcoming album will feature "impossible bass and guitar stuff" and will be musically similar to the band's 1991 breakthrough, "Lean Into It" — the LP that featured the No. 1 single "To Be With You".

Frontiers Records released MR. BIG's reunion live CD and DVD, entitled "Back To Budokan", in October 2009. The set featured footage of the band's June 20, 2009 performance at Budokan in Tokyo, Japan.

MR. BIG released a new "best-of" album titled "Next Time Around" in April 2009 through WHD Entertaiment. The collection included songs that were voted on by fans and contains two previously unreleased songs, "Next Time Around" (2009 remastered version) and "Hold Your Head Up" (2009 remastered version). It was made available as a limited deluxe edition with a bonus DVD.
