It is twenty five years since the publication of Fisherman's Blues, the Rosetta Stone of the race The Waterboys, key work of the group, where the Irish folk jazz, rock and blues come together, the album that marked the epicenter of his career, his anchor and rudder if I had to choose only one among all who have posted.
So the October 14 Londoners? Led by Mike Scott Scottish reissued as big, with a seven CDs.
All a chest full of a great treasure.
Hence, a tour will come to our country and in which Scott and Steve Wickham will join for the first time since 1990, with his old comrades Anto Thistlethwaite group and Trevor Hutchinson.
The four of them, plus the current battery of training, Ralph Salmins, will be responsible for interpreting a rescan music repertoire of the band during those years.
In the words of Mike Scott: We will not touch 'Fisherman's Blues' in the original order or anything.
We will use the repertoire of the band at that time as a starting point for a new journey, free and improvised, the spirit of The Waterboys.
I want that fire burn again.
Steve and Anto moan like the orchestra of two men who remember when anything could happen and do happen.
The Waterboys are a band formed in 1983 by Mike Scott.
The composition of it has always revolved around musicians from Scotland, England and Ireland.
The venues for the same have alternated between Dublin, Spiddal, London, New York and Findhorn.
His music has gone from a mix of Celtic folk to rock and roll, always with a very personal style granted by the talent of its leader Mike.
After ten years of recording and touring, the band dissolved in 1993 and Scott pursued a solo career.
The band reformed in 2000 and continues to release albums.
To Mike, There is no difference between Waterboys and me because, to me, mean the same thing.
The early Waterboys sound was called The Big Sound after a song from his second album, A Pagan Place.
This style was described by Mike as a metaphor for the blame for God in the world.
In the late 80's the band's sound became more folk.
Later the rock sound again after the amendments.
His songs, mostly written by Scott, often try to literary references related to spirituality.
