Big Country - The Crossing

 

180-gram vinyl

Insert with song lyrics and drawings

Debut album released in 1983 plus four bonus tracks "Angle Park," "All Of Us," "The Crossing," and "Heart & Soul"

Big Country's The Crossing is the debut album every musician wishes for. It's a fantastic trip through their powerful and unique sounds, created by heavily engineered guitar playing, which sounds like bagpipes. The richness of this album can be felt in their vibrant blend of traditional British Isles folk music and new wave.

The grand themes of the lyrics feel just straightforward, but the essence is deep and thoughtful. That's why the heart of this album is in the songwriting and guitar play of frontman Stuart Adamson. All over it's one of the best debuts in popular music history, truly unique during the time of release.
