[HEADING=2]Big Country[/HEADING]

Big Country were a new wave/alternative rock band which formed in Dunfermline, Scotland in 1981.

 

The band consisted of Stuart Adamson (vocals, guitar), Bruce Watson (guitar, vocals), Tony Butler (bass) and

Mark Brzezicki (drums). Adamson was a former member of the Scottish punk band The Skids.

 

The band was best known for using the device known as the "e-bow" to alter their guitars to sound like bagpipes.

 

Despite having 15 Top 40 hits in the UK, the band has remained a one hit wonder in the US with their third single

"In A Big Country".

 

The band split in 2001 shortly after Adamson's suicide on December 16, 2001.

Erasure is a synthpop duo from the United Kingdom consisting of keyboardist Vince Clarke and singer Andy

Bell, both of them songwriters. After founding Depeche Mode, Yazoo and The Assembly, Clarke formed

Erasure with Bell when he found the singer after placing an ad in 'Melody Maker'.

 

Erasure entered the music scene in 1985 with their debut single "Who Needs Love (Like That)". Beginning in

late 1986 with the release of their single Sometimes, Erasure established themselves on the British charts;

albums such as The Circus, Wild!, Chorus, I Say I Say I Say, Loveboat and Nightbird demonstrated a further

diversity of sound.

There are two artists sharing this name;

 

1) The Highwaymen was an American country music supergroup, composed of four of the genre's biggest

artists, known for their pioneering influence on the outlaw country subgenre: Johnny Cash, Waylon

Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson.

 

Active between 1985 and 1995, the group recorded three major label albums as The Highwaymen: two on

Columbia Records and one for Liberty Records. Their Columbia works produced three chart singles,

including the number one "Highwayman" in 1985.
