Hundreds of Oldies from the Golden Years of Pop Music

BIG COUNTRY
1. Fields Of Fire • 2. Chance

When popular experimental Scots new wavers the Skids split around 1981, guitarist Stuart Adamson formed Big Country, recruiting guitarist Bruce Watson and the hot rhythm team of Tony Butler (bass) and Mark Brzezicki (drums), both of whom had recently played on sessions with Pete Townshend, the Pretenders and Roger Daltry. Adamson's unique six-string 'bagpipe' effects dominated Big Country's 1983 debut hit, the anthemic "Fields Of Fire (400 Miles)" (UK:10, US:52), a track from their Steve Lillywhite-produced album "The Crossing", and the first of over a dozen hits during the decade. Later that same year came "Chance" (UK:9), proving the sheer breadth of the band's capabilities. With a check-chirted image that matched their name and sound, Big Country (together with U2) flew the flag for guitar-dominated groups in an era when synthesizer fever raged throughout the UK.
