Good Luck, Seeker
''Good Luck, Seeker'' is the fourteenth studio album by the Waterboys, which was released by Cooking Vinyl on 21 August 2020. ''Good Luck, Seeker'' was announced on 5 June, with the first song to be previewed from the album being "My Wanderings in the Weary Land". The single "The Soul Singer" was released on 15 July. Critical reception Timothy Monger of AllMusic described ''Good Luck, Seeker'' as an "eclectic jumble of wily mysticism, rock & roll romance, oddball tributes, and canned dance beats". He felt the album was "not one of the great Waterboys albums", but "an adventurous one with enough standouts and strange magic to go around". Graeme Marsh of ''musicOMH'' commented: "It's astonishing how much ground gets covered on ''Good Luck, Seeker''. Not every track is likely to resonate with every listener, but that's all part of the charm." Wyndham Wallace of ''Uncut'' described ''Good Luck, Seeker'' as "an album of passion, wit and spirituality that, like its title, invites us ...

The Waterboys
The Waterboys are a folk rock band formed in Edinburgh in 1983 by Scottish musician Mike Scott. The band's membership, past and present, has been composed mainly of musicians from Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England. Mike Scott has remained as the only constant member throughout the band's career. They have explored a number of different styles, but their music is mainly a mix of folk music with rock and roll. They dissolved in 1993 when Scott departed to pursue a solo career. The group reformed in 2000, and continue to release albums and to tour worldwide. Scott emphasises a continuity between The Waterboys and his solo work, saying that "To me there's no difference between Mike Scott and the Waterboys; they both mean the same thing. They mean myself and whoever are my current travelling musical companions." The early Waterboys sound became known as "The Big Music" after a song on their second album, '' A Pagan Place''. This style was described by Scott as "a metaphor for s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jim Keltner
James Lee Keltner (born April 27, 1942) is an American drummer and percussionist known primarily for his session work. He was characterized by Bob Dylan biographer Howard Sounes as "the leading session drummer in America".Howard Sounes. ''Down the Highway: The Life of Bob Dylan'' Doubleday. 2001 p329. Career Keltner was inspired to start playing because of an interest in jazz, but the popularity of jazz was declining during the late 1950s and early 1960s, and it was the explosion of pop/rock in the mid-1960s that enabled him to break into recording work in Los Angeles. His first gig as a session musician was recording "She's Just My Style" for the pop group Gary Lewis and the Playboys. Keltner's music career was hardly paying a living, and for several years at the outset he was supported by his wife. Toward the end of the 1960s, he finally began getting regular session work and eventually became one of the busiest drummers in Los Angeles. His earliest credited performances on ...
