Big Head Todd & The Monsters ~ Broken Hearted Savior ~ Military Tribute #2

During the late '80s and early '90s, Big Head Todd & the Monsters (the Colorado-based trio of guitarist/keyboard player Todd Park Mohr, bassist Rob Squires, and drummer Brian Nevin) built their audience through constant touring, playing college towns across the country. With these tours, they built a solid fan base before they had even signed to a major label. Although they released a number of records, they weren't quite able to transfer the live appeal of their laid-back, slightly jazzy blues-based pop to disc.

Nevertheless, each of their records contains many fine moments, and 1993's Sister Sweetly, which went gold and stayed in the charts over a year, showed that they were continuing to improve their songwriting as well as their playing. It was followed by their second major-label album, Strategem, in 1994; Beautiful World appeared in 1997, followed a year later by Live Monsters. Big Head Todd & the Monsters were dropped from Warner after Live Monsters and the band took four years to regroup and release Riviera in 2002. Crimes of Passion followed in 2004 on the Sanctuary label. The group released one more record on Sanctuary -- Live at the Fillmore -- before departing the label for their own Big Records, releasing All the Love You Need in 2007 and Rocksteady three years later.

"Broken Hearted Savior" is the most successful song by American rock band Big Head Todd & the Monsters. It was released as the second single off of their major label debut album Sister Sweetly in 1993, reaching number nine on the US Mainstream Rock charts. A black and white music video has been made, which features the band playing the song in a basement. Broken Hearted Savior has also been featured on the soundtrack to the 2006 motion picture Southland Tales.

I am a HUGE BHTM fan, and I was surprised to see that you state " Broken Hearted Savior" is the most successful song by American rock band Big Head Todd & the Monsters.". I never heard this song get any airplay, but I heard " It's Alright" "resignation Superman" and "Bittersweet" often, but not often enough! This is a group that should be much more widely known...they are some of the finest musicians and songwriters I have EVER heard, and are one on my top 5 groups/musicians of all time!

I feel such nostalgia for the 90s that it's crushing me.

God brought Her to Me.. and although she walked away from me, God knows that we are connected beyond partnership. When she asks,.. I will answer. When she needs,.. I will fulfill. But I will fulfill my own needs,...without her.
