After moving to Spiddal, west Ireland, for absorbing traditional Irish music, The Waterboys recorded The Fisherman's Blues in Irish folk rock style to replace their early new wave sound. With traditional instruments like violin, whistle, flute, accordion and backed by a rock and roll rhythm section, they forged a unique and accessible sound with the anthemic opener "Fisherman's Blues" and poetic stopper "The Stolen Child" being the highlight.
