Big Country--In a Big Country (1983)

     Sometimes the term "one-hit wonder" is used in music as as somewhat derogatory, when in fact some of them have provided us with the best music of a certain decade, as in this one.

      Big Country had three chart singles in the US, although their popularity in the UK continued well into the 1990's. The only song that most anyone remembers stateside is, "In a Big Country" where the use of a MXR Pitch Transposer gave the guitars the sound of bagpipes. This, like many hits from the early 80's, was helped along with the video which included beautiful scenes of their native Scotland.
