Tony Butler, former Big Country bassist, returns with a powerful new single, “Give Them Back Their Freedom,” inspired by the Ukraine/Russia conflict. Leading his upcoming solo album, “No Profit in a Peaceful World” (out April 28, 2025), the track showcases Tony’s signature depth and thought-provoking storytelling.
Tony is best known as the bass player from twice Grammy-nominated Big Country who enjoyed phenomenal success in the 80s and 90s. The band released nine studio albums with sales of over 8 million copies, had 17 top 30 singles in the UK, and toured all over Britain, Europe, USA, Canada and Japan, as well as supporting artists including Queen, David Bowie and the Rolling Stones.
Other songs on the album are more personal to Tony himself, including an ode to Cornwall on the track “I Call It Home”. A real labor of love, Tony has written, produced and played all the songs on the album; “Apart from two guitar solos, I play everything.” he adds.
