The first hit for the band came with their next single, the exciting 'Fields Of Fire', I remember listening to this in headphones and the guitar sounds were so pure and the Celtic Folk elements were heard in abundance. It was a brilliant introduction to the band's sound, a pulsating almost Punk-like chanted spoken track with Scottish drum and bagpipes (guitars) abound, like a marching band rhythm.

I personally think they were a very underrated band, they were unique, they wrote great songs and also incorporated Folk styles into their own brand of Scottish Rock.Onto this album, 'The Crossing' gave us four singles, the debut 'Harvest Home' failed to chart in the UK. Big Country are an exceptional band of musicians and even though they are still playing today, the superb gutsy vocals of the late Stuart Adamson were the key to their success. A Rock band with a sound that incorporates the energy of Punk, the anthemic sound of Rock and incredibly the unmistakeable Scottish bagpipes! It was like nothing I had before and have not heard since. This debut album certainly gave me a new music ear (no pun intended), it was something I was just blown away.
