Big Country: “Fields of Fire” (1983)
The song that introduced the world to Big Country and the e-bow.
The song that introduced the world to Big Country and the e-bow.
An absolutely brilliant song, paired with an absolutely baffling video.
For a moment, they seemed poised to be a bigger Scottish import than scotch and sweaters.
A slightly different version from the elpee, but it’ll still make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
It wasn’t as big a hit as “In A Big Country,” but “Wonderland” did fill the gap until Steeltown arrived.
An epic album that plays out like a novel set in post-war Scotland.
Robin Millar gives the band a spacious sound that’ll send chills down your spine.
Another epic single with an equally epic video that somehow didn’t score big in this country but did well in the UK.
Rock’s royalty and real royalty join forces for a good cause.
Apparently, the trouble with Big Country is that they didn’t sound enough like Jefferson Starship and Wang Chung.
A generous helping of all the band’s hits through their first four records.
