The Basement, Nashville, TN...April 27, 2001  
 

I never personally got to see Big Country in concert growing up but have 
followed Stuart Adamson and his bandmates music for many years. Marcus 
Hummon I had heard of through songs like "Ready to Run" but had never heard 
him sing, when I heard the two were teaming up I actually didn't know what 
to think though I loved the idea of mixing celtic sounds with folk rock. I 
had to drive 4 hours to get to the concert but I've got to tell you it was 
more than worth it! They played for 2 hours and each song stood solidly on 
it's own. The two exchanged leads on every other song and there harmony was 
superb. If you can imagine a cd in which every song could be the title 
track, thats what it felt like! There were moments of soft beautiful 
ballads like the awesome song "My only crime" and songs that rocked the 
stage like "Shattered Cross". They even played a few Big Country songs that 
made the night perfect. Sometimes you just don't want a show to end! I 
advise any fan of Stuart Adamson or for that matter any fan of celtic folk 
rock NOT to miss this one! It's amazing!
