    The Waterboys - Out Of All This Blue


    Their 12th studio album from 2017.
    Sticks much out of what they are doing else, the most poppy album to date. Interesting at least.
    For me personally the weakest (saying, as complete Waterboys fan), but still highest quality music, crossing diverse genres of sounds, including Funk and Dance.
    Also much influenced by American music styles and lyric themes. Much of an contrary piece to Mike Scott's rather "British" themes, while he resided in the USA.

    One song reminds or quasi links to the former super excellent album 'Modern Blues' (2014/2015), my personal favourite (aside the outstanding 'An Appointment with Mr. Yeats', 2011), a typical Waterboys solid rock number, where Brother Paul's organ, Mike's e-guitar and short story telling leads, while the bass pushes and drums drives like hell (all played by Mike).

    Morning Came Too Soon


    Edit:
    Well i have the Deluxe edition which is a three CD release, and the more i hear it, the better. It shows like no other Mike's further-development in the music universe. And thus must revert my stance of "weakest album", which was a very wrong label by me, rather contrary, it's a most versatile album work. A very impressing production and quasi a fantastic pre-cursor to the album 'Where The Action Is', which is pure perfection and follows the direction of crossover music styles production from 'Out Of All This blue' by the song-writing genius and multi-instrumentalist Mike Scott and his super-skilled band companions.

    A couple of artists I follow are putting up live or home recorded performances in these lockdown times. Here's one:

    Sometimes you need something atrocious. Something that barely belongs into the 'Arts' section.
    But then, what's arts anyways? Something that reminds you of awkward times? Right.

    Stevie Nicks - Rock A Little


    Stevie's solo album from 1985.

    In the middle to end of 80s one of my favourite LPs, and still consider it one of the best album releases of that time.

    Edit

    Found one offical video, 'You Can Talk to Me', just one of the perfect pop rock titles of the album

    The first two albums by The Cars. I remember the first one in fine detail since I owned it when it came out and played the crap out of it. What I forgot is how good Candy-O is as well. I mean, you've got all the recognizable radio tunes but then in the middle of it you get "filler" like this:

    Finally figured it out.

    I love both these bands and both songs are classics, but i almost feel this mashup is better than the originals.

    Funny story, VH supported ACDC on a US tour and supposedly they hated each other's guts. There's an interview with Angus Young where he says "we're a rock band, they're a pop band" and David Lee Roth stated more fans attended the concerts to see them than the main act.

    I think Diamond Dave and Bon Scott would've got along OK, but Bon was dead by then....

    +rep, have to love someone that remembers Bon Scott - I thought they were so much better with him, but just missed seeing AC/DC live with him

    (I've just realised I might be a bit of a jinx on singers - see also, just missing getting to see Linkin Park )

    Have just found Badflower - Explicit language warning: - and for most of their other stuff explicit language and disturbing (mental health) content! Great music though...

    The Waterboys - Where The Action Is (Deluxe edition)


    The album (with bonus CD) arrived me finally.
    Overwhelming great!
    Produced by Mike and Scott and Brother Paul. It results into a "crown of creation" of pop and rock music history in whole, and rows itself into the most leading albums of the Waterboys' releases.

    have to love someone that remembers Bon Scott - I thought they were so much better with him, but just missed seeing AC/DC live with him

    (I've just realised I might be a bit of a jinx on singers - see also, just missing getting to see Linkin Park )
    Ofc, i know AC/DC with Bon Scott, had all those old LPs back in the time.

    Btw., you don't know what a good rock concert is, when you weren't in a Springsteen & E Street Band (at best in the 80s, or whenever) and in a Waterboys concert (in the 90s, or whenever).
