Vocalist Eric Martin, guitarist Paul Gilbert, bassist Billy Sheehan and drummer Pat Torpey return with their new album, Defying Gravity, the follow-up to 2014’s acclaimed release …The Stories We Could Tell.
Mr. Big have once again teamed up with producer Kevin Elson who was also producer for their classic albums, Mr. Big, Lean Into It and Bump Ahead.
Due to Pat Torpey's parkinsons-disease he was unable to perform on all album tracks, and touring drummer Matt Star performed on the remaining album songs on the album.
The album was recorded over just six days at Ocean Studios, Burbank and Gilbert says: “It was great to get back in the studio with our original producer. Kevin Elson recorded all of our original classic albums from the 80s and 90s, and we immediately felt that magic chemistry with him on this new record.
“We basically played live in the studio. Over the years we’ve all had a chance to experiment with every recording technique possible, but it's still always the best just to play together as a band.
He adds: “Most of my guitar solos were tracked live with the band. I’ve worked hard on my improvisation in the last few years and it really paid off on this record, both melodically and on the face-melting stuff.”
