Waterboys, The
"The Waterboys"

Released in 1983

The Waterboys, led by Mike Scott, are one of my all-time favorite bands. They've been putting out great albums since the 1980s. I got into the band a few years after this record and went back to grab the missing albums. I'm glad I did because "A Girl Called Johnny" on this album is one of my favorites from the band.

Here are two more tracks to check out
