Big Country - A BOX OF... Big Country [1983-2020] (22 x CDs)
Now I don’t quite know what to say about his and thought we may have had it before but out of a sneaking regard for the tragic Stuart Adamson ad having a couple of signed items (a 12” single and the first album) I have a number of early albums but 22?! Twenty Two!!? Yikes! Extraordinary! That called even my bluff
Go to the link (above) and read Butterboy’s intelligent profile and check the entire history of the band and see what YOU think!
Butterboy says:
"Their enduring popularity rests on three pillars. First, authenticity - songs that speak of place, pride, and perseverance resonate far beyond Scotland. Second, craftsmanship - Adamson’s melodic intelligence and the band’s rhythmic precision give their catalogue lasting replay value. And third, community - Big Country cultivated a loyal audience that sees the music as shared heritage rather than nostalgia. The anthemic choruses of The Crossing still sound like open skies; the later work carries the same moral clarity and emotional reach"
