The Waterboys, 96 músicos, brujería y el extraño milagro de ‘Fisherman’s Blues’: “Descubrimos música que ni siquiera recordaba haber tocado”

As the band's permanent leader and figurehead, Mike Scott, explains, the group feels no need to change their lineup, stating that versatile musicians can handle various musical styles.
