Waterboys/Fishermans Blues

On "Fisherman's Blues" Mike Scott & company pour their hearts out in roots music so genuinely felt that it will turn any listening area into a cottage on the moors. The instrumentation is heavily Irish with mandolins, fiddles, harmonicas, flutes, upright bass & even the occasional Greek Bazouki.

This album represents a musical version of James Joyce's Ireland: everything is sung about in a dreamlike intoxication whether it be wine, women, work, waves or the world.
