Big Country was a Scottish rock band that formed in 1981 and broke through in America with the song "In A Big Country" in 1983. That track was a major hit on MTV. They never reached that level of airplay in America, but remained successful in the UK.
Lead singer Stuart Adamson was found dead in a hotel room months after what was supposed to be the band's farewell tour. The remaining band members reunited in 2007 to celebrate the band's 25th year and toured again in 2010 with Mike Peters of The Alarm as lead singer. It was kind of trippy for me to see and hear Mike singing those songs!
This track remains one of my favorites of the 1980s...
