Paired with the excellent "Fisherman's Box", there's a strong case that the Waterboys were the best folk rock band you've never heard in the late 80s & early 90s.
This box documents the time between "Fisherman's Blues" spent playing and writing what would become "Room to Roam". A fantastic ramshackle mess of folk, rock and Celtic Soul. Imagine Van Morrison recording the Basement Tapes during his time in Woodstock.
