Quote:

Fisherman's Blues marked a change in the sound of The Waterboys', abandoning their earlier grandiose rock sound for a mixture of traditional Irish music, country music and rock and roll. Critics were divided on its release with some disappointed at the change of direction and others ranking it among The Waterboys' best work. The album went on to become the Waterboys' best selling album.

"Fisherman's Blues" has appeared on the soundtracks of the movies Good Will Hunting and Waking Ned Devine.

"And a Bang on the Ear" has appeared on the soundtrack of the movie The Matchmaker.

"The Stolen Child" was the first William Butler Yeats poem that The Waterboys put to music.
