Wee Tam and the Big Huge is the fourth album by the Incredible String Band,… Read Full Bio ↴Wee Tam and the Big Huge is the fourth album by the Incredible String Band, released in Europe as both a double LP and separate single LPs in November 1968. In the US, however, the two discs were released separately as Wee Tam and The Big Huge.
The album is considered by many to be, along with the previous The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter, the best work the band ever produced. Along with having very developed and poetic lyrics, the album is rich with eclectic and adept instrumentation and arrangement, with around 15 instruments being played consistently throughout the album, mainly by the two band members Robin Williamson and Mike Heron but also supported on a few tracks by Rose Simpson and Licorice McKechnie.
Williamson explained the title as follows:- "I saw a man with a huge big dog, we knew somebody called Wee Tam, in Edinburgh. It seemed like it was a good idea in terms of one person looking up at the stars - Wee Tam and the Big Huge, just like the vastness of the universe."
