People have often approached me, strangers, and friends alike spontaneously sing the "Big Baby" refrain to me. I suppose it's slightly catchy, but what is more important is the fashion in which it came into being. 

I learned guitar by learning the blues. So Big Baby is just something that comes out when I'm not thinking. It's Rock and it's Blues and it's poetry. 

I worked very long hours on equalization for the song-ending guitar-riff with co-producer John Nazario. I wanted it to sound as if the last chord of each progression was being sucked away from the listener into the void... (turn it up loud!)

It was nearly 2 years after the original release that I realized the second verse lyrics were all kitchen related. I had written them with subconscious purpose and that was that, so there was no more thought given. But looking back, they are quite tight in their cooking motif metaphor. Cook, Fried, Boil, etc...

When I perform Big Baby live, I play loads of guitar solos and it's a real blast. I'll be releasing a faster remix version to the dance world soon.
