Big Country

The Seer

£29.99

Released: 31st March 2023. Formed by ex-Skids guitarist Stuart Adamson in 1981 with old friend Bruce Watson and, from 1982, rhythm section Tony Butler and Mark Brzezicki, Big Country proved a fascinating proposition, adding punk, new wave and even new romantic elements to heavy, meaning-laden pop/rock with a passionate Celtic slant and fierce integrity. 'The Seer', released in 1986, contained the group's biggest UK hit single, 'Look Away', a glorious arms-in-the-air '80s rock anthem. As if to underline quite how highly regarded Big Country had become, Kate Bush - not one known to offer her services lightly - guests on the album's title track. The melody-rich album, which reached No. 2 in the UK charts and made the Billboard Top 60, produced by Robin Millar, explores Scottish history, and demonstrates quite how Stuart Adamson had matured as a songwriter.
