Bighorn - Bighorn (2026) [Hi-Res]

Bighorn is the sole studio album by the Seattle-based melodic rock band of the same name, originally released in 1978 on Columbia Records. The record presents a polished blend of pomp rock, light progressive rock, and AOR, drawing frequent comparisons to acts like Kansas, Styx, and Starcastle. Led by the charismatic vocals of Bob Marcy and featuring intricate vocal harmonies, the album showcases a wide stylistic range, from the keyboard-driven grandeur of tracks like "Penny For Your Dreams" to the harder, guitar-focused rock of "Helen Betty" and "Tried Every Trick". Despite strong production and a major label release, the album failed to achieve commercial success, and the band dissolved in 1981, making this release a sought-after cult classic for fans of 1970s AOR and pomp rock.
