The Waterboys are a British folk-rock band formed in London in 1981, fronted by Scottish singer-songwriter Mike Scott. They are known for their ambitious, genre-blending sound that draws from rock, folk, and Celtic music. "A Rock in the Weary Land" was released late in their career, following a period of more stripped-down, acoustic-leaning work.
