Bob Dylan song is set to feature in a new box set compilation chronicling The Waterboys’ album ‘This Is The Sea’. The track, an instrumental titled ‘Meridian West’, came about in 1985 when the British-Irish folk rock band were invited to play with Dylan at a session in North London recording studio Church Studios.
Dylan had been working on the piece with the musician Dave Stewart when The Waterboys joined in, and the band’s frontman Mike Scott happened to record the jam session.
When compiling the upcoming re-release project, Scott contacted Dylan and received his authorisation to include the track on the box set.
The six-CD, 90-track collection is set to be released in 2024. The original album came out in 1985 and featured the band’s signature song, ‘The Whole of the Moon’.
