Atlantic Rain: The Lost Fisherman's Blues Recordings
The Waterboys `Fisherman's Blues' album sessions have been revisited for a brand new box set featuring previously unreleased recordings. Almost 400 multi-track tape reels, totalling 150 hours of music, were recorded during the Waterboys' famous 'Fisherman's Blues sessions of 1986-88. Among these were 80 tapes with no song titles, just rough notes like 'jam' or 'unknown.' In 2024 band leader Mike Scott went through most of these, listening to them for the first time since they were recorded, and discovering in the process dozens of tracks the band had forgotten about; lost recordings, some improvised on the spot, others painstakingly worked on, that in many cases equal the quality of those on the original classic 1988 album.
