Album Review
Big Country made big music — maybe not according to the definitions of Mike Scott, but certainly big in the sense of post-U2 anthemic college rock. They had one big hit — the glorious "In a Big Country," where the E-Bows chimed like bagpipes and the chorus surged with a barely constrained urgency. Big Country never hit those heights again, either artistically or commercially, but they did write a number of fine, big anthems, all of which are collected on Mercury's The Best of Big Country. Since it weighs in at 17 tracks, this may try the attention span of anyone but the devoted, yet this still works as a fine summary of their strengths while pointing out why they might not have gone much further.

Timeless
by La Pinchy MigraThe Crossing was and still is my favorite album of all time.
A good representation of an underappreciated band
by AZProfessorBig Country were one-hit wonders in the U.S. Too bad, because the band's Top 40 hit, "In a Big Country" isn't even close to being one of their best songs. Listen to the power of "Where the Rose is Sown" or "Wonderland" and you'll see what I mean. This band deserved a better fate. Perhaps with Stuart Adamson's passing, the band's legacy will become more than just "one hit wonders."
