Matthews Southern Comfort & Second Spring (1969)
2 originals on 1 cd
By Todd and In Charge (amazon) No one sings a song like Ian Matthews -- his sweet tenor and gentle delivery wraps itself around a song cycle here that is extraordinary. Mixing in rock, olde-english folk ballads, covers (including a signature take on James Taylor's Something in the Way She Moves), soaring harmonies and distinctive pedal guitar work, these two long out-of-print albums are a revelation! Heady, dreamy, swirling melodies that will transport the listener to another place -- this release is a must-have for sensitive, thoughtful music fans.
