Mr. Big’s Eric Martin Hints at Future Recordings: ‘I Always Wanted to Keep the Door Open’


If frontman Eric Martin has his way, the “To Be With You” quartet may well be with us again in the future.

Talking to Billboard via Zoom from his home in San Rafael, CA, Martin admits to having second thoughts about packing the band in 35 years after its debut album. Martin formed Mr. Big in Los Angeles during 1988 with bassist Billy Sheehan, adding guitarist Paul Gilbert, his chief songwriting partner, and drummer Pat Torpey. The 26 songs include the entirety of the Lean Into It album, as well as covers of Humble Pie’s “30 Days in the Hole,” the Olympics’ “Good Lovin'” with the band members on different instruments and the Who’s “Baba O’Riley.” It also features a five-song acoustic section capped by Cat Stevens’ “Wild World.”
