The Waterboys are a Scottish folk rock band that was formed in 1983 by Mike Scott. With their unique blend of traditional Celtic music and contemporary rock, they have become one of the most influential bands in the genre.

Mike Scott, the driving force behind The Waterboys, is not only a talented musician but also a skilled songwriter. His poetic lyrics and soulful melodies have captivated audiences around the world. The band's sound is characterized by its rich instrumentation, including fiddles, mandolins, and bagpipes, which add depth and texture to their music.

Over the years, The Waterboys have released numerous critically acclaimed albums and achieved commercial success with hits like "The Whole of the Moon" and "Fisherman's Blues." Their music has resonated with fans of all ages and continues to inspire new generations of musicians.

this compilation does a nice job of summing up the group's too-short career. the waterboys gave birth to both world party and mike scott's even more dylanesque solo career, but it's the band's glory days that are explored here. the panoramic, yearning 'fisherman's blues' and the gentle 'is this from blood on the tracks?' lilt of 'when ye go away' are as good as '80s folk-rock gets. 'the whole of the moon' and 'the return of pan' show the band's way with an epic. there's even a hint of things to come, with the inclusion of a scott solo track, the spiritually oriented 'what do you want me to do?'
