London, UK – In a remarkable discovery, the legendary Scottish rock band Big Country’s lost album, “Crossing the Divide”, has resurfaced after 39 years.

 

Recorded in 1984, “Crossing the Divide” was intended to be the follow-up to Big Country’s critically acclaimed album “Steeltown”. However, due to creative differences and label issues, the album was shelved and never officially released.

 

The lost album features 10 previously unreleased tracks, showcasing the band’s signature blend of Celtic-infused rock and anthemic choruses. Fans will be thrilled to hear that the album includes some of Big Country’s most ambitious and experimental work to date.

 

“I’m overwhelmed with emotion hearing these songs again,” said Bruce Watson, Big Country’s guitarist. “It’s like stepping back in time, and I’m thrilled that our fans will finally get to experience ‘Crossing the Divide’.”

 

“Crossing the Divide” will be released on February 17, 2025, as a deluxe edition CD, vinyl, and digital download. The album will include extensive liner notes, rare photos, and a bonus disc featuring demo tracks and live recordings.
