During the height of Big Country's 14.7 seconds of fame, Stuart Adamson said something to the effect that "all American music was crap."

In retort, Brian Setzer of the Stray Cats said "who does he think invented Rock and Roll - Angus MacPresley?"

Brian Setzer couldn't hold a dim candle to the talent Stuart and his buddies possessed in their little finger. I submit proof in this short piece (and this is just the b-side song, yes a b-side song). Find an American that can play anything half this decent.... and remember this is from 1984.

Click "HERE" for an amazin short guitar piece by Big Country in 1984, b-side music at that

Great band. Guitar harmonies the likes of which I've never heard before or since. Not to mention the best use of an E-Bow.

My favorite song is "Prairie Rose" from Steeltown.

Great album art as well.

He will be missed.
