Reviews:
“Mr. Big abandons the virtuoso guitar and bass of Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheehan for the majority of Lean Into It, and the result is a big, shiny mainstream rock album. It also translated into chart success with the hit campfire-singalong ballad "To Be With You." Elsewhere, Mr. Big provides some tracks to satisfy the new fans, along with plenty of head-spinning solos from Gilbert and Sheehan to satisfy their old audience.” AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
First released in 1991, Lean into It, was the second studio album by the American rock supergroup of Paul Gilbert, Eric Martin, Billy Sheehan and Pat Torpey - Mr. Big. The band's breakthrough release - Lean into It peaked at number 15 on the Billboard album chart, while the single ‘To Be With You’ became the band's first and only song to hit number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The follow-up single, ‘Just Take My Heart’, was a Top-20 hit, peaking at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The million-selling album, also containing the popular tracks ‘Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy’, ‘Alive and Kickin' and ‘Green Tinted Sixties Mind.’ Lean Into It shows that Mr. Big could also strip away all the flash, 7-minute solos and simply create well-written songs with rhythm, groove and good melodies, making the band one of the iconic new wave of progressive ‘musician’s bands’ who could play mind-blowing complicated riffs on their instruments at lightning speeds.
This is one of the evergreen albums of 80’s style hair band rock that transcends the years and 2021 is the 30th anniversary of the release. evoXS is releasing Lean into It - The Singles 7” box set, which includes four 7” coloured vinyl singles with their European picture sleeves: ‘Just Take My Heart (edit)’, ‘Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy (The Electric Drill Song)’, ‘To Be With You’, ‘Green Tinted Sixties Mind’, plus the bonus single ‘Strike Like Lightning’ from the movie Navy Seals, which has never previously been released on 7" vinyl. The B sides include the original hard to find tracks To Be With You (live at NHK Hall Tokyo 1991), Just Take My Heart (acoustic). This box set will also include a guitar pick and poster. This product is produced as a limited numbered edition of 2,000 copies and is released on the US Record Store Day.
