Originating from the fertile Athens, Georgia music scene, 'Walking in the Shadow of the Big Man' blends driving post-punk rhythms with upbeat jangle pop melodies. Murray Attaway's distinctive vocal delivery and introspective lyricism distinguish the group from their localized contemporaries like R.E.M. The record gained them significant underground traction before their eventual jump to a major label.
