Description

“To me there is no difference between Mike Scott and The Waterboys; they both mean the similar thing. They mean myself and whoever are my current travelling musical companions.” Mike Scott Odd Boat charts the twisting and meandering journey of Mike Scott, describing the literary and religious references that inform his songwriting and exploring the multitude of locations and cultures through which The Waterboys have assembled and reflected in their recordings. From his early forays into the music scene in Scotland on the end of the 1970s, to his creation of a ‘Big Music’ that peaked with the hit single ‘The Whole of the Moon’ and onto the Irish adventure which spawned the classic Fisherman’s Blues, his repeatedly restless creativity has led him through a myriad of changes. With his revolving cast of troubadours at his side, he is created probably the most most era-defining records of the 1980s, reeled and jigged across the Celtic heartlands, reinvented himself as an electric rocker in New York, and sought-out personal renewal in the spiritual calm of Findhorn’s Scottish highland retreat. Mike Scott’s life has been a tale of continual musical exploration entwined with an ever-evolving spirituality. “An intriguing portrait of a up to date musician” (Record Collector).
