Description

Life, Death, & Dennis Hopper finds Mike Scott and The Waterboys embarking on one of the most ambitious and fascinating projects of their career—a sprawling concept album inspired entirely by the life, legend and cultural impact of actor Dennis Hopper.

Drawing on Hopper's extraordinary journey through Hollywood, counterculture, art, fame and reinvention, the album presents a collection of original songs that explore the many chapters of one of American popular culture's most compelling and enigmatic figures. Deeply cinematic and richly detailed, the record traces Hopper's story through music, capturing both the man and the myth that surrounded him.

To bring this vision to life, The Waterboys are joined by an impressive lineup of guest artists including Bruce Springsteen, Fiona Apple and Steve Earle. Together they help create a vivid musical portrait that moves through Hopper's life and relationships, including songs inspired by each of his wives, while reflecting the restless creativity and rebellious spirit that defined his career.

Combining The Waterboys' trademark storytelling with elements of rock, folk, Americana and cinematic songwriting, Life, Death, & Dennis Hopper stands as one of Mike Scott's most imaginative and fully realised works.
