Atlantic Rain: The Lost ‘Fisherman’s Blues’ Recordings
The Waterboys
Sessions for The Waterboys’ 1988 album Fisherman’s Blues have yielded a new 3CD box set. Atlantic Rain is drawn from a reported 150 hours of recording and 400 multi-track tapes reviewed by the band’s Mike Scott; the resulting box boasts 25 tracks (including covers of “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door,” “When Doves Cry,” “Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground,” and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”) and a book containing a 15,000-word essay by Scott plus lyrics and previously unpublished photos. (As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.)
