By the point the Waterboys got here round, Dennis Hopper was already nicely established as one of many main filmmakers and actors of the New Hollywood motion. Following his dying in 2010, Hopper’s legacy remains to be going robust, as are the Waterboys, who’re releasing their upcoming sixth album in his honor. Life, Demise And Dennis Hopper arrives in April, and it’ll function collaborations from Bruce Springsteen, Fiona Apple (a famous fan!), Steve Earle, Taylor Goldsmith, and extra.
Waterboys chief Mike Scott stated in a press release:
The arc of [Hopper’s] life was the story of our instances. He was on the large bang of youth tradition in Insurgent With out A Trigger with James Dean; and the beginnings of Pop Artwork with the younger Andy Warhol. He was a part of the counter-culture, hippie, civil rights and psychedelic scenes of the ’60s. Within the ’70s and ’80s he went on a wild 10-year rip, nearly died, got here again, obtained straight and have become a five-movies-a-year character actor with out shedding the glint in his eye or the sense of hazard or unpredictability that all the time gathered round him.
