THE ORIGINAL MR. BIG SCORES A HAPPY XMAS

Eric Martin

Remember the power-rock group Mr. Big from the 90’s. Their song “To be with You” was #1 pop record… in six countries. After several subsequent hits, the group disbanded and their lead singer, ERIC MARTIN, went off and did several solo albums which were released in Japan. Now, his first ever U.S. release TIMELESS is out and features 12 tracks … originally recorded by women, including “Time After Time” and “Eternal Flame” and “My Heart Will Go On.” So far, the album is a stone-cold smash …and now; Martin’s released a fresh re-working of the John and Yoko Holiday standard “Happy Xmas(War Is Over).”We had to ask whether Mr. Big -who recently re-grouped and is on tour in Europe- do any music for the SATC-movie. We got the cryptic reply from Martin, “We would love to.” Seems a perfect fit… Mr. Big for Mr. Big.
