A few years back, The Waterboys released one of their best songs in ages, a tribute to the legendary Dennis Hopper.
This year, they're going one step further with an entire album dedicated to the actor known for his roles in Easy Rider, Blue Velvet, True Romance and Apocalypse Now. Waterboys frontman Mike Scott says, "It's the story of Dennis Hopper's life in songs - and the story of his and our times." Even better, Scott's invited some very special guests to help him wax lyrical about Hopper... including Steve Earle, Fiona Apple, Dawes singer Taylor Goldsmith... and one Bruce "I'll guest on anybody's record these days, saves me having to record anything new myself" Springsteen.
I'm looking forward to it... especially after hearing the first single...
