Synopsis

Amazon.com

A former member of the late '70s English punk band the Skids, guitarist/vocalist Stuart Adamson went to Scotland in 1982 to form a group whose goals were to regain the idealism and passion he felt the punk/new wave movement had lost through commercialization. Tapping U2's producer, Steve Lillywhite, then known for his highly textured, expansive sound, Adamson realized his vision on Big Country's 1983 debut. Propelled by the hit single "In a Big Country," and featuring such rousingly evocative fare as "Fields of Fire" and "Harvest Home," the group's decidedly Scotch-Irish tone prefigured the Celtic music boom by a good 10 years. --Billy Altman

Stay alive!

(5 out of 5 stars)

""music to move montains by"...thats all that needs to be said about big country....this album is the reason i do what i do today (write songs and play guitar) when i first heard the crossing it was like nothing i had heard before....it took me in,took me to places i had never been before....here was a group who put there whole heart and soul into every note....forget the pomp and pretense of duran and spandau...here are the real icons of the 80's! truly magnificent and moving...a sad loss to the world now that stuart is with us no more....but at least his legacy will live on in his music....and what better legacy to leave than an album like this!
stay alive!"
