Davie Scott discovers the story behind worldwide hit album 'The Crossing' by Big Country

The skirl of guitars! The surging crowd anthems! 'The Crossing' by Big Country holds memories for millions, but the story behind the album is even better. Davie Scott investigates

The group behind crowd anthems like 'In a Big Country', 'Chance' and 'Fields of Fire' has a story more emotive than their music. In programme two of 'Classic Scottish Albums', Davie Scott discovers the story behind worldwide hit 'The Crossing' by Big Country, talking to those who matter including U2's super-producer Steve Lillywhite who still thinks Big Country are one of the most talented bands he's ever worked with.
