I hope you all enjoy this as much as I do. I always considered Waterboys as a band I'd have liked to play with.

i dug both of those, MT. I'd heard of this band but never actually heard them before. I'll be checking out some of their other stuff for sure. I love how they bass lays in the mix...great tone and really present. great throaty tenor solo on that first one but i was disappointed the trumpet didn't get a solo.
It's always baffled me why those instr.....tenor sax, trpt, and violin aren't used more in R&R bands. IMO, in the hands of capable musicians, they are much more "vocal" and expressive than any gtr or keyboard can ever be.
One of the most enjoyable bands I played w was way back in the day in my early 20's before moving outta NYC...it was a six pc R&R band called Natural Selection ( NOT my idea...i always thought the band name sounded like a laxative!) We had two gtrsts, drums, myself on bass, a violinist, and a great reeds man who played alto, tenor, and flute. Funny thing...i was the only straight guy (orientation) in the band!
Thanks for hipping me to these guys, Mike.
