WKW:Latest Chapter In The Big Country Story!

The legendary band Big Country has remained an inspiring force for legions of fans across the world for nearly four decades.

Co-founder Bruce Watson is still firing off those trademark guitar salvos, but since 2011, he alongside his guitarist son Jamie are about to end that drought with their new project called ‘WKW’, a collaborative effort with American musician Thomas Kercheval.

Together, they have just released ‘Men Of Steel’, a new nine-track album overflowing with huge guitars, driving bass, mountainous drums and anthemic choruses through a song selection that includes a couple of intriguing guests and fascinating back-stories.

An interesting aside is that the bands’ artwork is by Tim Eldred, a director and storyboard artist with Marvel Comics. Tim has been a fan of Big Country for decades.
