"Heart of Wilderness" by Big Head Todd and the Monsters

Colorado rock band Big Head Todd and the Monsters seemed secured in mainstream success with their breakout record, "Sister Sweetly". The album spawned several standards of 90s radio including "Bittersweet", which bubbled under the top 100 at #104 in January of 1994. While the album only went to #117, it created enough buzz to get the band's follow-up, "Stratagem", to #30. 

"Stratagem" failed to generate a hit single, so the band took 3 years to craft their next record, 1997's "Beautiful World". Helmed by Jerry Harrison of the Talking Heads, "Beautiful World" was a glorious return to form and saw the band flexing their blues muscles too. Filled with sizzling rockers and sultry ballads, "Beautiful World" reached a respectable #56 on the albums chart and put the band back on the mainstream rock charts, too (thanks to "Resignation Superman").
