The Waterboys Recruit Bruce Springsteen, Fiona Apple for Dennis Hopper Concept Album
Frontman Mike Scott says the album is "not just about Dennis, but about the whole strange adventure of being a human soul on planet Earth".
Fittingly-titled Life, Death and Dennis Hopper, the record is scheduled for April 4 release via the historic Sun label, and features a number of special guests, including Bruce Springsteen, Fiona Apple, Steve Earle, Taylor Goldsmith, and more. “In the ’70s and ’80s, he went on a wild 10-year rip, almost died, came back, got straight and became a five-movies-a-year character actor without losing the sparkle in his eye or the sense of danger or unpredictability that always gathered around him.” The album’s first single, “Hopper’s on Top (Genius)”, will arrive on Friday (Jan. 9), and will preview a record which also features the talents of artists such as Barny Fletcher, , Anana Kaye, Patti Palladin, and Kathy Valentine of The Go-Go’s.
