	Iain Mathews
		Matthews (who had changed his surname to avoid confusion with saxophonist Ian McDonald of King Crimson) then signed with starmakers Howard And Blaikley, who had been involved in the success story of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich.
		Matthews was still obligated to make another album for Vertigo, but the record company was unwilling to commit Plainsong to the label (why take Plainsong when we already have Iain Matthews).
		Matthews was not particularly pleased with the album and decided to choose the musicians for his next record himself.

	Iain Matthews
		Matthews, who’d begun to play guitar during the his days with Fairport, “but only at home and quite spastically,” wanted to contribute to the writing himself, and was concerned that Howard and Blaikley’s reputation as pop Svengalis might hurt the album’s reception.
		Matthews had been struggling for nearly 15 years now and was still living hand to mouth, with nothing to show for his efforts but a string of out-of-print albums, and the loyalty of those musicians and fans who shared his vision.
		Matthews was the major contributor of material for Dark Side of the Room (1992), remaking his own “And Me” as “Say a Prayer,” and writing “Towie” with Griffiths and “Unusual Girl” with Dawson (heard here in a dance mix that Line records vetoed as a single).

		Matthews soon signed with MCA Records for his first solo effort, Matthews Southern Comfort (1970), which featured former Fairport bandmates Richard Thompson and Simon Nicol.
		Once again solo, Matthews returned with the techno-pop Shook (1984), which was released only in Germany following PolyGram's decision to not market the album in Britain or the U.S. Frustrated by the decision, Matthews decided to call it quits after 18 years as a recording artist.
		The next decade would be Matthews' most productive stretch since the late '60s/early '70s, with the release of five solo studio albums, as well as three with the reformed Plainsong, one with the band Hamilton Pool, and a handful of live recordings.

		Matthews, a British folk-rocker who rocketed to fame with Fairport Convention in the late '60s before transplanting both himself and his musical style to America, said he always sets goals he can't reach.
		With Southern Comfort, which was the next thing along, I really became identifiable as a British singer-songwriter sounding American.
		Matthews confessed some surprise that his old band, Fairport Convention, is still chugging along with so much popularity.

		Iain Matthews first came to prominence as a founding member, along with Richard Thompson, of Fairport Convention.
		Matthews lent his perfect tenor to the seminal English Folk group's first three LPs -- including their best albums, What We Did on Our Holiday and Unhalfbricking -- before striking out on his own to record the Matthews Southern Comfort LP in 1969.
		For his part, Matthews also found the collaboration an easy one, citing the musicians' shared professionalism as the "common ground" from which the pairing prospered.

	Matthews Southern Comfort - Later That Same Year
		Matthews Southern Comfort plays music of the sort that is indispensable for those who own houses in the country with a fireplace and are the recipients of the affections of ladies who cook them organic dinners and wear their wild blonde manes in pigtails much of the time.
		If this kind of mellow tuneful close-harmony country-tinged polite rock appeals to you as much as it does to me, this band is very much up your alley.

	MATTHEWS SOUTHERN COMFORT - “Woodstock” \| FreakyTrigger
		MSC doesn’t resort to false idealism (or agressive certitude like CSN) nor does it turn the quest for the garden into a lost cause to be mourned.
		Matthews’ voice has a certain limited charm, the simple bass part grounds the music so it doesn’t drift off, and the steel guitar, particularly the long solo before the last chorus, rings true.
		When I here the MSC version, however, I think of autumn rain clattering on my window and a sense of something I had which was now dissipated - my conviction that I had found love when I thought I never would was coming to nothing but it was a memory to treasure.

		He was responsible for many British steel players getting started, and his tone and tasteful melodic style sounds as good today as it did back then.
		In particular, Iain Matthews’ beautiful, clear, poignant voice struck just the right chord, with the 1970 release of the single ‘Woodstock’ by Matthews Southern Comfort reaching no. 1 in the UK charts in 1970.
		Gordon was the only backing musician to play on all three Matthews Southern Comfort albums; after Iain Matthews disbanded the group in 1970, they carried on for 3 more albums, finally calling it a day in 1972.

	Southern Comfort
		This was basically a later version of Matthews Southern Comfort after Ian Matthews had left to sign to Vertigo as a solo artist.
		Southern Comfort's three albums and their 45s were all quite good but eventually the band split due to the lack of public interest.
		The “Meets Southern Comfort” compilation which features Matthews Southern Comfort on side one and Southern Comfort on side two sorely demonstrated how anonymous Southern Comfort sounded deprived of Ian Matthews' quavering vocal style.

		In which Ian Matthews splits from Fairport Convention, hires a (good) pedal steel player, and sings like an angel.
		As you know, angels keep their intelligence discreetly concealed--no one would suspect that the song that goes "Alright, everything's alright" bears the title "A Commercial Proposition," or that the drip who begs "Please Be My Friend" is off his rocker.

		Well, I have heard of Matthews Southern Comfort, though I could not have told you where they were from or anything they did.

		That being said, Ian Matthews' version of Woodstock is one of the best mellower songs ever recorded and even if I don't love a lot of his songs, I never find them abrasive either.
		The songs Gimme an Inch Girl and Shake It were rightfully hits (Shake It being Matthews highest charting single at #13 on the Billboard charts).
		Note That Best of Matthews' Southern Comfort includes all but 2 songs from the Matthews' Southern Comfort album Later That Same Year, which is out of print.

		Surfing the web looking for information about British steel guitarist Gordon Huntley, (best known for his work with Matthews Southern Comfort) proved to be a disappointing experience.
		Gordon was the only backing musician to play on all three Matthews Southern Comfort albums; after Iain Matthews disbanded the group in 1970, they carried on for 3 more albums, finally calling it a day in 1972.
		I, for one, often play his music, and continue to spend an hour or so trying to nail down some elusive lick of his on the steel.
