One Hit Thunder Episode 238: “To Be With You” by Mr. Big (f/ Mike Soboslai)

Mike Soboslai is back again with his BIGGEST song yet. Mr. Big’s campfire sing-along ballad “To Be With You” was a surprise hit in 1992, especially as the grunge era was taking hold. This infectious tune was dramatically different from the band’s usual intricate hard rock style, showcasing a softer side that few saw coming. Known for their technical prowess and complex compositions, Mr. Big’s other fan favorites include the blistering “Green-Tinted Sixties Mind” and the shred-heavy “Addicted to That Rush.” Despite never recapturing their U.S. success, Mr. Big became (and remained) HUGE in Japan. Join us as we explore the band’s career and see if we’ve been missing out here in the States. And yes, we’ll even touch on their more… uniquely titled tracks like “Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy.”
