The Waterboys - November Tale (Official Video)

From the new album, 'Modern Blues,' out now!
(Coming April 7th 2015 in the US & Canada.)

----

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.

How am I just discovering The Waterboys in 2023? This is a crime! I have been deprived!Excuse me, while I listen to their entire discography.

[pattirippe]

I just love Mike Scott. He's one of the finest musicians and lyricists around but more than that, such integrity and heart. I listen to this when I'm driving, over and over... great company on the road.

[r.powell]

Wow! I live the USA, and my Uncle Steve from England recommended I check these dudes out. I am BLOWN AWAY. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!

[MariaElena]

This band will always be close to my heart. Found them in the 90's, they are ageless ! Waterboys and Hothouse Flowers cause me to swoon, dance and cry ..

[Philhuggett]

This song gives me goose bumps. Absolute poetry

[heathsavage]

Soundtrack to my Edinburgh years. Love them. Love Scott's voice. Like a Scottish Tom Petty!

Absolutely love the Waterboys and saw them live for the first time last year. Someone in the audience kept yelling "I love you". Oh but I love you never disappointed with this bunch.

[destiniesentwined]

Yes, this is a wonderful high-light, but there is no high-light on the new album, because as a matter of fact it is all high-light! It is an incredible album, second to no other! A masterpiece; I absolutely love it. Can't stop listening..

[marymurray]

found you again as I cook on a cattle station in the Pilbara WA, wish I'd been in Spiddal when you were there! Thank you for the music....it fills my heart and still prickles my skin at 53

This song feels like it's 30 years old, minimum. It's so great.

[OliviaDI]

I love those songs and style. He sings so clear I understand the words the first time I hear a song! Can I get better than this. Wishing you all the success and fame.

The Waterboys are legends. The music is crystal clear and superb just like Toto's latest, Toto XIV. Watching this video reminds me of The Band's The Last Waltz. Maybe this album will be for the Waterboys.

[cybernev]

Reminds me of Steely Dan and also Ralph Salmins (the drummer) was taught by my drum teacher Brian Booth so if your reading this Ralph then hes told me so many stories about Germany and your wife as well. So Keep up the great sound and amazing tunes xD
