This is the first studio album from The Waterboys since bad diagnosis in 1982. The Waterboys’s debut, ‘First Album’, does not fit easily into one genre. First Album is an amazing album, racked with beauty.Such great and happy songs.
Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think A Girl Called Johnny is my favorite song on First Album. I find myself hearing bits of The Three Day Man here and there throughout my waking hours. Gala on First Album is solid and easy to listen to. I Will Not Follow is the albums lead single as well as biggest hit. It Should Have Been You sets the tone for the entire album. This song stands out greatly from the others. In Savage Earth Heart you won’t find any flashy solos.
