9 THE WATERBOYS

FISHERMAN’S BLUES (LIVE IN TORONTO ’89)

An always-rousing folk rock anthem here in a live setting from Mike Scott and his Waterboys in 1989: the accelerated finale, summoned by fiddler Steve Wickham at 3:45, is extraordinary. A highlight of their forthcoming Magnificent Seven six-disc box, tracing their journey from 1988’s Fisherman’s Blues album to 1990’s Room To Roam.

Written by Mike Scott/Steve Wickham. Recorded at the Masonic Hall Toronto 11/10/1989. Produced by Mike Scott. Published by Warner Chappell/Blue Mountain Music. ℗2021 Chrysalis Records Limited.
