Big Country Redux - Eastworld [CD]

Cat. no: EASTWOCD1
Format: CD
Barcode: 5037300569901
Release Date: 18 Sep 2026
Genre: Rock

The album consists of 10 brand new recordings of Big Country songs originally written or co-written by Stuart Adamson, Tony Butler and Bruce Watson which were released as demoes or sketches, but never previously properly developed or lavished with the attention they deserved. With the publication of the well-regarded book on Adamson's life 'Stay Alive' by Scott Rowley, and a forthcoming documentary, the spotlight is on the band and the legacy once again.

Bruce Watson said of the 'Eastworld' release, "Some of these songs will be known to the diehards as they have sneaked out from the archives as unfinished demoes or 'internet only' releases, but these are all songs that deserved to be developed further at the time they were written. I am delighted to have now completed them; it is a true privilege to get this newly recorded material out there."

The Big Country Redux line-up includes Bruce Watson (guitar/vocals), his son Jamie Watson (guitar/vocals), Tommie Paxton (vocals/guitar), Chris Stones (bass), and Reece Dobbin (drums).
