Description
The Pogues – Waiting For Herb – Cassette
Waiting for Herb marks itself as the seventh studio album by The Pogues, released in 1993. The album represents a pivotal point in the band’s career, characterized by a shift in their musical direction. Departing from the raw, punk-infused energy of their earlier works, Waiting for Herb features a more polished and refined sound.
Waiting for Herb is a 1993 album by The Pogues, their first without former lead singer Shane MacGowan. The album saw the band continue to expand their musical reach past the traditional Irish roots it had been founded on, and was only their second full-length album without a single traditional song. The album featured the track “Tuesday Morning”, which was the band’s first Top Twenty hit since “Fairytale of New York.”
The album includes tracks such as “Tuesday Morning,” “Smell of Petroleum,” and “Haunting.” While it didn’t achieve the same commercial success as some of The Pogues’ earlier albums, it received praise for its musical maturity and the band’s continued ability to craft compelling narratives within their songs.
Waiting for Herb is a reflection of The Pogues’ evolution as musicians, showcasing their versatility in adapting their sound while still maintaining a distinctive identity. The album may not have garnered as much attention as their earlier works, but it stands as a testament to The Pogues’ commitment to artistic exploration and growth.
