The Waterboys - Fisherman’s Blues [Limited Edition Yellow Custard Vinyl LP]

The Waterboys were formed in London in 1981 and led by singer/songwriter Mike Scott, the group's only constant member — with the supporting musicians ever changing around him.

1988's Fisherman's Blues is the Waterboys' fourth album, for which the band were joined by traditional Irish players over a three-year period, recording a mix of Irish trad, country, Soul and Rock, resulting in a stripped-down, folky sound which was a marked step away from the "big music" Scott founded and pursued in previous albums.
