Stuart Adamson

William Stuart Adamson (Manchester, 11 april 1958 - Honolulu, 16 december 2001) was een Brits rockmusicus die gold als oprichter van punkband The Skids en later van rockband Big Country en uiteindelijk country rock act The Raphaels. Adamson is voornamelijk bekend door zijn virtuoze en onderscheidende gitaarspel, waarbij het samenspel van twee elektrische gitaren (tezamen met Big Country collega Bruce Watson) een geluid creëerde dat vaak vergelijkbaar is met dat van een doedelzak. Dit werd bereikt door toepassing van diverse gitaareffecten, waaronder E-bow, en intensief gebruik van reverb. Op deze wijze ontstonden melodieuze rocksongs die vaak herkenbaar waren of gebaseerd waren op meer traditionele Schotse arrangementen en ritmes. Lees meer op Wikipedia
