Scared To Dance - Vintage Rock Band T-Shirt for Music Lovers | Perfect for Concerts, Gigs & Casual Wear

Before rising to fame as the frontman for Big Country, Stuart Adamson cut his teeth playing guitar and composing tunes alongside vocalist Richard Jobson with Skids, another criminally underrated act that should have gotten much bigger attention here in the US. After listening to this album, and in particular the song "Scared to Dance", there is no doubt that Stuart was the most creative guitarist that I have ever been privy to. Him and fellow Scotsman John McGeoch, whom I hear had actually filled in for Stuart once with Skids and of course later played alongside Jobson in the band Armoury Show. Before purchasing this album, I was quite familiar with the tracks "Into the Valley" and "The Saints Are Coming" having played them several times on YouTube; the latter is unquestionably one of the most epic tunes ever produced. But now my personal favorite off this album is most definitely the title track "Scared to Dance". I am truly at a loss for words that would do that song the justice it so richly deserves. Especially Stuart's guitar work, it is nothing short of beautiful, amazing, powerful...I can go on and on but like I said words cannot possibly describe the impact that song in particular has had on me these last few days since I bought this album. If anybody needs a reminder or wake-up call as to how great a loss we suffered with Stuart's tragic passing in 2001, this is definitely it. One can only hope that in the fullness of time that he and John McGeoch, who is also sadly no longer with us, will both get the full recognition that they were worth.
