The Waterboys' long-awaited new album Modern Blues was released on January 19th outside the US & Canada. The album was recorded in Nashville, produced by Mike Scott and mixed by the great Bob Clearmountain. Modern Blues is an electric, soulful, bold, freewheeling rock'n'roll record with a skinful of killer new songs, some of which have been premiered live over the past few years. Ralph Salmins, a mainstay on drums for the past four years, appears alongside the talismanic Steve Wickham, who weaves a dizzying fuzz fiddle spell on several tracks. Fresh to the ranks are Memphis keyboard player “Brother” Paul Brown and David Hood, legendary bassist from Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Additional lead guitars are played by 2013 US Waterboy Jay Barclay and Austin soul guitarist Zach Ernst. Guest backing vocalists include southern soul legend Don Bryant. The album cover is a green man photograph titled The King Of Weeds, by New York artists Kahn and Selesnick. Modern Blues will be accompanied by a worldwide tour.

From someone who had the record store for 20 years with not maybe not a wooden floor, but a well worn carpet floor who finally gave into the polite term of supply and demand - this song brings me to tears - thanks Mike at least some one sees it and the sadness

How can one man create such diversity? Don't Bang the Drum, Fisherman's Blues, Too Close to Heaven, Good News, Bring 'em All In, Nearest Thing to Hip, etc. All incredible in their own special way. I guess I don't care how you do it Mike...just please...keep on doing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mike just keep doing your thing. I hate when people compare newer things to older stuff. They are not in the same place in life nor are you. I for one am just glad you are still writing and playing. I take each song as a snapshot and some I like better than others but hey man they are the nearest thing to hip that we have...

does indeed have a Van the Man vibe...I love it when people compare things! it's a wonderful way of paying tribute. love it that Waterboys haven't lost the soulfulness of Fisherman's Blues/Yeats work. Beautiful tunes/complemented by soaring lyrics as well -- very Van Morrison. Beauty is Truth...

I agree with the people who are saying this is very Van Morrison. It's really excellent. Now I want to see the neighbourhood where Mike lives.... and drop some more cash in the best places in my own neighbourhood :-)

There's many VEVO channels, yet none for The Waterboys,.. And for that sir, Mike Scott You earn mine, and countless others UTMOST respect. On other note, I wish they would play other songs aside from"The Whole of The Moon" on the radio, which in any case is heard very rarely here in Poland :(
@janslowhand1684 5 жыл бұрын
So true. Last song of them I've heard on polish radio was I Can See Elvis. their last Out Of All This Blue and Where The Action Is have so many fantastic songs ,potential hits and instant classics yet no radios play these beauties
