Vinyl LP pressing. 2011 album from Mike Scott and his Waterboys, an album that features W.B. Yeats words set to music by Scott and Co. The album features an extended Waterboys line-up including fiddle maestro Steve Wickham, new Irish singer Katie Kim, multi-instrumentalist Kate St. John, Flook flautist Sarah Allen and Catalan trombonist Blaise Margail.  An Appointment with Mr. Yeats draws on 14 of Yeats' poems, spanning both famous and lesser known works, from the wry to the romantic, the political to the mythological, all invigorated with the energy and exuberance of The Waterboys. The project has long been a passion for Waterboys vocalist Mike Scott, who first delivered a new dimension to Yeats' poetry in 1988, when he wrote a musical accompaniment for the classic poem 'The Stolen Child', during the making of the Waterboys seminal album Fisherman's Blues. Five years later he set another Yeats poem to music, 'Love and Death', which appeared on their Dream Harder album. Proper.
