Artist Spotlight

Big Country

Scottish rock band whose ringing guitars, anthemic melodies and emotional directness created an unmistakably expansive sound.

About the Album
#

Why the Long Face was recorded during a period of transition for the band and features their signature blend of anthemic guitar rock, characterised by Stuart Adamson’s use of guitar to create a sound reminiscent of bagpipes.
