"Where the Action Is" is the title track of the Waterboys' thirteenth studio album, released by Cooking Vinyl on 24 May 2019, and it takes its cue from Robert Parker's "Let's Go Baby", the song that inspired it. The album was announced in March with a lyric video for "Right Side of Heartbreak (Wrong Side of Love)"; this one got a full music video in April, with "Ladbroke Grove Symphony" following in May. Paul Brown co-produced it and also pitched in on engineering and mixing.
The record around it kept up the flirtation with dance and hip-hop-flavored rhythms heard on Out of All This Blue while leaving room for straight-ahead rockers and folk-tinged reflection, and AllMusic's Timothy Monger heard another reliably interesting chapter in the band's late-career revival.
