Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic (Driving to Damascus) 4.5/5 stars Allmusic (John Wayne's Dream) 4/5 stars Record Collector (Driving to Damascus) 3/5 stars Driving to Damascus is the eighth and final studio album by Scottish rock band Big Country. It was released in 1999 as both a standard edition and a limited edition digipack, and with bonus tracks in 2002. In the U.S. it was released under a different name, John Wayne's Dream. The limited edition version featured different cover artwork, and included two tracks by Stuart Adamson's alt-country side project, The Raphaels ("Shattered Cross" and "Too Many Ghosts", subsequently released on the 2001 album "Supernatural"), although there was no indication in the credits that these were not by Big Country. The album was re-released on both CD and vinyl format to celebrate the bands 30th anniversary in 2012.
