Featuring the band’s de facto theme song — ***In a Big Country,*** their debut album, **THE CROSSING**, combined anthemic post-punk with folk-inspired guitar sounds to become the leading representative of 80’s Celtic Rock. It was a surprisingly influential mix that would inspire an entirely new wave of British rock artists who openly embraced their Celtic heritage. **BIG COUNTRY** achieved major international success plus two Grammy nominations and for a time rivalled fellow “big sounding” British guitar rock acts U2 and Simple Minds.

Big guitars, big drums, big checks on their shirts, **BIG COUNTRY** were well named!
