Not exactly a Lockdown LP, but this version of a song on an album previously featured warrants further attention.

Kirsten Adamson is the daughter of Stuart Adamson, whose song "In A Big Country" was a 1983 hit single for Big Country and an epic track on their debut "The Crossing" album. Whereas the original version conjured up heroic visions with swirling bagpipe guitar, pounding drums, epic guitar solos and poetic lyrics, his daughter's interpretation is amazing different, with just a slow acoustic guitar and an angelic vocal. Just superb.
It's probably the finest song I have heard this year, and deserves a much wider audience'
