Where the Action Is by The Waterboys

Where the Action Is is the Waterboys' thirteenth studio album, released by Cooking Vinyl on 24 May 2019, and like every Waterboys record it is at heart a Mike Scott record. The Scottish songwriter founded the band in London in 1983 and remains its only constant member, with Steve Wickham still among his travelling companions. Since the group reformed in 2000, Scott has swung between rock records and folk records, never settling for long.
The title track takes its spark from Robert Parker's "Let's Go Baby", and the rollout came in pieces: a lyric video for "Right Side of Heartbreak (Wrong Side of Love)" in March, a clip for the title song in April, then "Ladbroke Grove Symphony" in May. The album reached No. 21 on the UK albums chart and No. 3 on the independent chart.
