Genre: Pop Rock, Indie Rock, Music Video | Label: Warner Music With
their ringing, bagpipe-like guitars and the anthemic songs of frontman
Stuart Adamson, Scotland's Big Country emerged as one of the most
distinctive and promising new rock bands of the early '80s, scoring a
major hit with their debut album, The Crossing; though the group's
critical and commercial fortunes dimmed in the years to follow, they
nevertheless outlasted virtually all of their contemporaries, releasing
new material into the next century.
The England-born Adamson formed
Big Country in mid-1981 following his exit from the Scottish punk
quartet the Skids, enlisting childhood friend Bruce Watson on second
guitar; Clive Parker and brothers Pete and Alan Wishart completed the
original lineup, but were soon replaced by bassist Tony Butler and
drummer Mark Brzezicki. Signing to Polygram's Mercury imprint, the band
issued its debut single, "Harvest Home," in the fall of 1982; a series
of opening dates on the Jam's farewell tour increased Big Country's
visibility exponentially, and the follow-up, "Fields of Fire," cracked
the U.K. Top Ten.
The Crossing appeared in 1983, its passionate,
idealistic approach and Celtic-inspired arrangements far removed from
the prevailing new wave mentality of the moment; the album not only went
platinum at home but went gold in America as well, its success spurred
by the Top 20 pop hit "In a Big Country." Critics raved, and in early
1984 Big Country returned to the British Top Ten with the single
"Wonderland." Their second album, Steeltown, entered the charts at
number one, but despite good reviews there were already rumblings that
all of the band's material sounded much the same; charges against 1986's
The Seer did little to rectify (although the single "Look Away" was
their biggest hit yet).
A tour of the Soviet Union accompanied the
1988 release of Peace in Our Time, but the following year Brzezicki
resigned from duty, with drummer Pat Ahern enlisted for the single "Save
Me." Chris Bell replaced Ahern upon completing 1991's No Place Like
Home, the first of the band's albums not to receive an American release.
After parting ways with Polygram, Big Country signed with the
Compulsion label for 1993's The Buffalo Skinners, recorded with yet
another new drummer, Simon Phillips; the record launched a pair of
British Top 30 hits, "Alone" and "Ships." Brzezicki rejoined the lineup
in time for Without the Aid of a Safety Net, a live LP recorded in
Glasgow at year's end.
Why the Long Face followed in 1995, and after
recording the acoustic effort Eclectic, Adamson relocated to Nashville
in 1997, prompting Big Country to go on extended hiatus. The group's
first new studio effort in four years, Driving to Damascus, appeared in
1999; the single "Somebody Else" was co-written by Adamson and the
Kinks' Ray Davies. Adamson had problems with alcohol that contributed to
his brief disappearance in November 1999 and announced his intentions
to retire from touring in the spring of 2000, concurrent with the
release of the limited edition Nashville Album. Later that fall, Come Up
Screaming was issued on SPV. On December 16, 2001 Adamson was found
dead in a hotel room in Hawaii.
He had been missing for several weeks from his Nashville, Tennessee home.
