The Waterboys – Room To Roam (2xLP)

The Waterboys' 1990 album "Room To Roam" was the band's fifth album. It tied in with the folk-rock sound of Fisherman's Blues, which was released in 1988, and was recorded at Spiddal House in Galway, where the last recordings of the previous album Fisherman's Blues had also taken place. Room To Roam would be the Waterboys' last folk-rock sound by the time Universal Hall was released in 2003. Fiddler Steve Wickham, who was a great inspiration for switching to this sound on Fisherman's Blues, left the band shortly before the release of Room To Roam. It was mastered and edited for half-speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road and made into a double album at 45rpm.
