Press Reviews

Big Country emerged from Dunfermline, Scotland, in the early 1980s, crafting a distinctive sound that combined widescreen guitar melodies with folk-inspired themes. Founders Stuart Adamson and Bruce Watson led the band, whose signature song 'In A Big Country' propelled them to international acclaim. Their debut album 'The Crossing' (1983) achieved platinum status and garnered three Grammy nominations, embedding classic hits like 'Fields Of Fire' and 'Chance' into rock history. Known for their anthemic style and evocative lyricism, Big Country's live performances channel both the grandeur of stadium rock and the heartfelt storytelling of folk traditions. Their music often evokes the spirit of the Scottish Highlands, inviting listeners on a journey that's as expansive as it is intimate. Fun fact: despite their soaring sound, the band members famously hailed from the modest town of Dunfermline, proving that big dreams do come from small places.
