PRE-OWNED CD

DESCRIPTION
Fisherman's Box is an extraordinary 2013 six-CD box set from British-Irish folk rock band The Waterboys, celebrating the 25th anniversary of their landmark 1988 album Fisherman's Blues. Personally compiled by frontman Mike Scott, this extensive collection features 121 recordings from the legendary Fisherman's Blues sessions between January 1986 and June 1988, including over 80 previously unreleased performances. Spanning sessions in Dublin, California and Spiddal, Ireland, the set documents the band's transformation from expansive rock into a rich blend of Celtic folk, country, blues and traditional Irish music. Featuring Mike Scott, Steve Wickham, Anthony Thistlethwaite and Trevor Hutchinson, alongside guest musicians including Jim Keltner, Donal Lunny and Liam Ó Maonlaí, highlights include numerous versions of "Fisherman's Blues," "We Will Not Be Lovers," "Strange Boat," "And A Bang On The Ear" and "The Stolen Child," plus interpretations of songs by Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and Hank Williams. Presented in a clamshell box with six CDs and an extensive illustrated booklet, this Chrysalis/Ensign release is an essential archival collection for Waterboys fans and collectors of classic folk rock.
