The Waterboys - Life, Death & Dennis Hopper (Burnt Colored 2Lp)

Fakten Inspired entirely by the life and mythos of actor Dennis Hopper, Mike Scott and The Waterboys created this expansive album as tribute to one of American popular culture’s most compelling public figures. While drawn in by his work in films, Scott also learned of Hopper’s talent as a photographer and was moved by the way Hopper captured how he saw the world.  Deeply conceptual, this album of all original songs brings together high-profile featured artists like Bruce Springsteen, Fiona Apple, and Steve Earle to musically weave through Hopper’s life, including a song for each of Hopper’s wives.
