    My Dad, may he rest, produced the original with Eliot Lurie's band, fought with him on how the song should sound, and worked tirelessly on recording it so it sounded perfect. Hearing this cover sent chills through me, and I know Dad would have loved this legacy he left behind was treated with the same love and passion he treated the song. Being his son, you guys get two thumbs up from me!

I've been reading the comments and am amazed that no one has mentioned Rob's AMAZING bass work here. His melodic groove is second to none, well except maybe, Sir Paul McCarney. Thank you BHT for entertaining us for so long, and don't stop. -T

    I just bought tickets to take my wife to see you play at the Oceans Calling concert in Ocean City, Md. I’m a local here at the beach. I can’t wait to see one of my favorite bands in concert!

    I just discovered this band. I went all the way back to when Todd had long hair! I love his voice. I'm hooked on a old tune, Bittersweet!! ❤🥰 I have a lot of music by them left to discover.
    This song is off the hook!! You guys nailed it!!

      Bittersweet was one of their huge hits! Their entire Sister Sweetly album is a classic - be sure to check it out!

      Hi Lisa I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this compliment. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹

    You never disappoint! I've been in love with Todd Mohr and BHTM since I was introduced to Sister Sweetly in the 90's. I've seen them many times-Toads place in New Haven, Mohegan Sun, and a few years ago at FTC with BHTM Blues Club. They never disappoint! Can't wait until I can hear them live once again, it will be a sweet sound!

      So many great memories from Toad's Place. I don't know if it's still there but they used to hang a plaque on the wall in the sound booth dedicated to a friend of mine, "The Duke of Sound". Great, great place.

    Just masterful. From the lead vocals, to the horn section, to backing vocals, guitar, keyboards, bass and drums, you guys absolutely nailed it! Thank you for not changing the song. Your version pays such tremendous tribute to the original. Perfection from start to finish! Salute!

      They had another big hit that I love and I believe it had national airplay, but at least in the Denver, CO region....I think the band is from Boulder, CO. Anyway, the song is "Bittersweet"

    Big Head Todd and the Monsters, is one of the most underappreciated bands in the past 25 years.
    I first heard them played in a record store, asked the clerk, who it was, and bought the C.D..
    I've got 3 of their releases, and stunned, that they never became a bigger deal.
    Left my Ipod in my desk in the office I can't return to yet,
    Gonna have to get those CDs into my truck.

    My wife and I are an acoustic duo in central PA. Last summer we played at a winery and had a request for this song. I felt bad that we couldn't do it, so I went home and learned it. This past weekend we played three shows and did this song at every one. It's a classic. It's my practice to occasionally go back and listen to the original to make sure we're not straying too far from the intent and spirit of the song. I saw this cover and was curious. This is impeccable. The little phrasing nuances of the lead vocal are a delightful twist. Thank you so much for sharing it!

    You know, this is just a 70s commercial yacht rock tune, one among many. But it makes a huge difference to see it performed live by musicians who care about quality. I was really deeply moved by the backup singers and their evident joy and passion. It's really a revelation. Thank you so much!
