| | Waterboys CD Waterboys Discography of CDs
Digitally remastered by Mike Scott and Chris Blair (Abbey Road, London, England).
The Waterboys' eponymous debut album finds Mike Scott essaying his vision of "big music." Part Van Morrison, part U2, it was sweeping and romantic, with nearly every song stretched out to epic length. At this point, Scott's vision far exceeds his grasp, yet it's fascinating to hear him try to reconcile the two extremes. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Q (3/02, p.140) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...They fused the confessional tone of Dylan's BLOOD ON THE TRACKS, the yearning of Patti Smith and the rocking euphoria of the E Street band....proving that U2 weren't the only Celts investing in the redemptive power of rock..."
Mojo (Publisher) (5/02, p.122) - "...They didn't sound like anybody else, and still don't....you sense Mike Scott is striving for something..."

| | Randy Newman Sail Away CD (1972)
Waterboys songs
$10.89 
Though 1968's RANDY NEWMAN introduced a major songwriting talent, and 1970's 12 SONGS still stands among the artist's best work, 1972'S SAIL AWAY has the strength and sophistication of an immediate, indisputable classic. Combining the lush orchestration of his debut with 12 SONG's lean, small-combo sound, SAIL AWAY marks Newman's prowess as a composer and arranger of the first order. His ear for melody, instrumentation, and the literary, often scathingly satiric nature of his lyrics are applied to perfection. The title track, a beautiful piano-strings duet sung from the point of view of a slave ship captain enticing Africans to America, is a case in point.
Every song on SAIL AWAY is memorable, from the tongue-in-cheek cabaret lament "Lonely At The Top" to the whimsical ragtime of "Simon Smith and the Amazing ...
| | Mike Bloomfield Super Session CD (1968) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Waterboys album
$6.75 
A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune").
All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in less capable hands might have resulted in simple noodling. In fact, although Bloomfield and Stills don't play together on any of the cuts (Bloomfield played on one side of the original LP, Stills on the other), all three principals get off lots of good licks and producer ...
| | Johnny Paycheck Take This Job & Shove It CD (1978)
Waterboys CD music
$5.35
Johnny Paycheck was steadily moving his way up the country charts until 1978, when "Take This Job and Shove It" catapulted him to the top. It was a combination of the right song given to the right singer at the right time, but much of that combination was down to producer Billy Sherrill, who had steadily been smoothing out the rough edges in Paycheck's sound while exaggerating his outlaw stance for almost comical effect. No other song quite captured this blend like "Take This Job and Shove It," which took a David Allan Coe original and twisted it into a cartoon that was appealing because of its exaggeration, not in spite of it. The song became an anthem, propelling the album to number two on the country charts, taking Bobby Braddock's drinking song "Georgia in a Jug" to number 20 along the way. "Georgia in a Jug" is one of four explicit drinking songs here -- of course the title track has a drinking undercurrent, it just doesn't make it explicit -- the best of which is the bizarre, funny "Colorado Kool-Aid," a tongue-in-cheek ...

| | Buck Dharma Flat Out CD (1982)
Waterboys CD music
$10.49
Blue Öyster Cult vocalist/lead guitarist Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser released a solo album, Flat Out, as Buck Dharma in 1982. It was the year after BÖC's commercially and artistically successful Fire of Unknown Origin. It's too bad Dharma couldn't sustain that vision for Flat Out, which is generally a mess, although it has some scattered interesting moments. Dharma seems unsure which direction Flat Out should take. It's a schizophrenic mixture musically and lyrically. He plays virtually every instrument, but special guests include session wizards like bassist Will Lee and drummer Steve Jordan, new BÖC drummer Rick Downey and classic Alice Cooper bassist Dennis Dunaway, and drummer Neal Smith. Dharma's wife, Sandy Roeser, co-wrote some songs and contributes background vocals. The production is sleek and Dharma's guitar retains ...
