Drummer reacts to "Fisherman's Blues" by The Waterboys

[@ASFMitchelProductions]

one of my favorite albums. listened to it backpacking through Ireland

[@CharlyDS]

Wow what a great choice! This is one of my favourite songs ever, if not the most.

[@L33Reacts]

Wow! I see why. It's beautiful. So authentic.

[@fatovamingus]

Me too I remember when this came out it was on the radio I went to see them in this tiny little club in Boston. Live music was everywhere then

[@heartoftherose]

Another terrific song that you just won't hear anywhere else, nowadays. Congratulations, Lee!

[@L33Reacts]

Yall are the best! Yall the know best stuff.

[@lynda3860]

The waterboys are brilliant band been fan for ages

[@submandave1125]

Bouziki is like a guitar sized mandolin you’ll sometimes hear in Celtic folk.

[@leeannies-tears369]

OMG 😮. I found Waterboys a year ago. they wrote prob the most impactful tribute to the heart, soul, and song of a woman ever, in my 66 years. It's called "Whole Of The Moon" BEAUTIFUL. But, 'The Killers' did a cover of it in a live @ TRNSMT Festival!! There are no words. LEE, also you would love lyrics of Waterboys "This Is The Sea"

[@ronbock8291]

I recently heard that a friend was at a funeral, and they played “This Is the Sea”. I got full body chills.

[@leeannies-tears369]

@@ronbock8291 I know. It's just beautiful.

[@lazerblu]

great band, they put on amazing live shows too :)

[@robertcobras8320]

They had so many touching songs... surprised to see someone reviewing the Waterboys. Please do "The Whole of the Moon" by them. The intro to Don't Bang the Drum just draws you in with Spanish trumpets... and then it kicks into it with the driving drums and Mike Scott's distinctive voice and emotional power

[@jenniferlaughlin47]

One of my favourite songs

[@kevjones5047]

Their first couple of albums have that BIG anthemic sound I love, then celtic rock. A fav. Whole of the moon is an amazing song. Mike Scott is the real deal.

[@Morthoron1]

Fisherman's Blues and Room to Roam are fantastic albums.

[@Boston685]

I’ve loved this song since 88 - very big on college campuses back in the day and ever since, for me anyway - this album is fantastic- they also do a sublime cover of Van Morrison’s Sweet Thing. A great pick and a nice surprise!

[@peaceofiona9198]

Too Close To Heaven is their another 13 minutes long masterpiece. We Will Not Be Lovers has also thumping bass part if you loved it here. My Wanderings in a Weary Land has fantastic fiddle solo. Brilliant

[@loisrogers9042]

I haven't heard this in a long time. I thought it was Bob Dylan!😅 Good pick❤

[@merittrayner5312]

Every time I hear this I kick myself in the ass for quitting violin lessons. "The Whole of the Moon" is probably their most well known song and definitely one you should hear - not as traditional, but truly inspired.

[@woodyheywood8792]

Excellent Reaction Man!!!

[@ShadowSong634]

Great pick Jellybean!

[@rickb.4168]

Red Army Blues! It’ll blow you away.

[@ronbock8291]

Niiiiicccccce! I saw them on this tour. Top three shows of all time.

[@shemanic1]

Beautiful. I was DJing between bands at a small festival in the U.K, the band due to come on were folkish & I had led towards their style & played this as the track before they played, the lead singer turned & said "This is my most favourite tune." I smiled & felt good.

[@gracedv]

The Waterboys Glastonbury Song is sure to speak to you, Lee. "I just found God where he always was!"

[@mattleppard1970]

Another biggie for me. I saw them live in Portsmouth (UK) in 1989/90 ❤ Try “Red Army Blues”

[@L33Reacts]

I'll have to look into more from them! I really enjoyed this

[@mattleppard1970]

@@L33Reacts Great! A Pagan Place, Trumpets, This is the Sea, all captivating 😎❤️ Missed the premiere sadly.

[@jessem470]

Saw them live recently Still as great as ever

[@alanglover9117]

They've done some major stuff like This is The Sea and A Church not made with Hands you would really like and on and on also great solo albums by Mike Scott, i particularly like Bring em all in. Live they play really loud and blow you away.

[@davidlaws3582]

Love this band. You might want to also check out Whole of the Moon.

[@rickb.4168]

Oh my god! One of my fave’s I met Mike in Nov last year. I’ve been a fan since 1984/5 My first proper gig was the Fishermans Blues tour in ‘89 One if my lyrical heroes.

[@mickr1448]

This song is a banger but Whole of the Moon is an anthem 👍

[@mattleppard1970]

One of the best songs of all time ❤

[@GiannaEmme]

Great, great album ❤

[@cellyblank9919]

This is a great song but there are so many more by Great Big Sea, The Rankins, The Barra McNeils, Spirit of the West, Rawlins Cross, The Irish Rovers and more! Great selection.

[@kurtkish6970]

Love Irish trad/Pop bands!

[@billkant849]

I left this comment before...but it got ate. The song is on my car playlist. I first heard the song on KPIG and went out and bought the album. Another good one is the album from Loreena McKennitt called Nights From The Alhambra. Which is easy to find on the internet.

[@kevjones5047]

Got to meet the bassist on tour with his band Lunasa. Trevor Hutchenson, a swell fella...

[@williamlovett619]

Great band

[@NeonPalm90210]

Good one Lee! Always loved this track!

[@woodyheywood8792]

Checkout "Bang on the Ear" great tune!

[@LSMSusan]

They have changed their sound constantly through the years. Tbh i did prefer the 'big music' era best my favorite is A girl called Johnny.

[@L33Reacts]

i love when a band does that. shows growth and change! not just stuck replaying the same shit for decades.

[@lathedauphinot6820]

I’d forgotten this. Love it. Thank you!

[@mattleppard1970]

That era also the best for me. As they went more acoustic they lost the earlier shine. The Big Music (song) a prime example 😊

[@linjicakonikon7666]

Outstanding. Check out the Waterboys' The Big Music. Good theme for your channel!
