Back when I was in high school, a friend of mine got me into The Waterboys, I especially enjoyed their album, "Fisherman's Blues." If you've heard anything by them it would probably the title track from this album as it is used in pretty much every, single trailer for every single movie that takes place in Ireland or has some kind of Irish subject matter. So anyway, I just found myself a copy of the album and it holds up. Besides the title track I especially like the Hank Williams tribute, "Has Anybody Here Seen Hank?" as well as the sweet "And a Bang on the Ear" and the haunting "The Stolen Child," which has lyrics by William Butler Yeats. There is also a good cover of Van Morrison's "Sweet Thing" which, I am ashamed to say, I didn't know was a cover until a least a few years later.
