Book excerpt: Big music, raggle taggle, sonic rock, spiritual visionaries: the music of Mike Scott and the Waterboys has meant many things to different people over the last forty yeatrs. They can rock with the best of them, play folk tunes that bring admiration from the purists. They can make you laugh, they can make you cry. What is certain is that they have never been boring. In the first of two volumes Ray Dexter analyses every song the Waterboys have recorded and in doing so provides an insight that now other work on the band has provided. Essential reading for the true fan.
