"Mista Bone" comes from ...Twice Shy, the fourth album from American rock band Great White, released in 1989, and it's a group effort: drummer Audie Desbrow, guitarist Mark Kendall and bassist Tony Montana wrote it with Alan Niven, who co-produced with Michael Lardie. Lardie is all over this one, producing, engineering alongside Eddie Ashworth, and playing guitar and keyboards, while Jack Russell belts the lead vocal.
It was Montana's first album with the band, and the record around it held the biggest hits of Great White's career, led by their cover of Ian Hunter's "Once Bitten, Twice Shy". Not everyone was converted: RPM's David Spodek heard the band's own songs as blending into the metal pack and called the cover the best thing on it.
