Big Country's last studio album, "Driving To Damascus",
combined all the elements that originally elevated the band
into the charts in the mid-Eighties. These, along with a
new found stylistic diversity stemming from Stuart
Adamson's relocation to Nashville in 1997 where he immersed
himself in the musical community and scene.
"Its the first time I've ever lived in a totally creative
community" he commented "and the first time I have ever
co-written with other artists". In 1999 Stuart (who was
spiritual but not religious), played signature guitar on
Randy Stonehill's No 1 Christian record The Face of God,
sang on Darryl Scott's messed up bluegrass record and then
wrote with Texan out and out country singer Christie
Sutherland.
