Like the Spin Doctors and Rusted Root, Big Head Todd and the Monsters was a jam band before there was an organized jam scene. Where younger jam bands built their following on the road, then, Big Head Todd and the Monsters did through radio play. The band still retains a loyal following from their time in the spotlight, and their early ’90s hits “Bittersweet” and “Broken Hearted Savior” continue to draw faithful old fans to their shows. The band has dabbled in the blues on recent albums, including their 2011 covers record, 100 Years of Robert Johnson, which featured contributions from blues greats like B.B. King, Hubert Sumlin and “Honeyboy” Edwards, but their latest album, New World Arisin’ returns them to sunny, jammy pop.
