1	Tigers Will Survive (1971) more music like this by Iain Matthews Tigers Will Survive, Ian Matthews' second release of 1971, and fifth in less than three years, continues the Anglo-American folk-rock that he began in 1968 with Fairport Convention. Following his departure from the band in early 1969, Matthews' style quickly veered from the British traditional direction that Fairport was headed, gravitating more ... see all copies from $12.31! new only from $13.74!
2	Walking a Changing Line (1988) more music like this by Iain Matthews When PolyGram refused to release his 1983 record Shook in either the U.S. or England, Iain Matthews became disillusioned and decided to put his career on hold indefinitely. Following a stint as an A&R man for both Island and Windham Hill Records, he returned in 1988 with an album dedicated solely to the songs of Jules Shear. Issued by Windham Hill ... see all copies from $5.55! new only from $33.75!
3	Excerpts from Swine Lake (1998) more music like this by Iain Matthews After five straight solo recordings with producer Mark Hallman at the helm -- going back to 1988 -- Iain Matthews decided to handle the production duties, along with guitarist Bradley Kopp, for 1999's Excerpts from Swine Lake. Whereas his last couple of recordings lived and died with his writing or vocals, here Matthews and Kopp inject the ... see all copies from $5.85! new only from $5.85!
4	If You Saw Thro' My Eyes (1971) more music like this by Iain Matthews In late 1970, shortly after his band Matthews Southern Comfort hit number one in Great Britain with its version of Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock," Ian Matthews decided that he needed more creative freedom and left for a solo career. The subsequent album, If You Saw Thro' My Eyes, his fourth and best release since leaving Fairport Convention in 1969, ... see all copies from $12.17! new only from $13.74!
5	Pure and Crooked (1990) more music like this by Iain Matthews On his second recording following a self-imposed, five-year hiatus, and his first featuring any original material, Iain Matthews (he changed the spelling of his first name to its original Gaelic form) returned with a songwriting vengeance, penning eight of the 11 tunes for Pure & Crooked, his 14th solo record. By no means prolific throughout most ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.93!
6	La Terre Commune (2001) more music like this by Elliot Murphy & Iain Matthews A collaboration stemming from longtime mutual admiration, Iain Matthews and Elliott Murphy find more than a little common ground on La Terre Commune. With each contributing four songs to covers of Bob Dylan's "Blind Willie McTell," Bruce Springsteen's "Sad Eyes," and Jesse Colin Young's "Darkness, Darkness," the two succeed in creating a ... see all copies from $2.05!
7	Skeleton Keys (1993) more music like this by Iain Matthews Since the early days of his career, Ian Matthews has been pigeonholed as a folk or country-rock artist -- more than likely because of his voice and emphasis on songwriting (original and borrowed) -- when in reality he spent a good portion of the '70s and '80s dabbling in various styles, from new wave, synth- and jazz-inflected pop to a new age ... see all copies from $2.99!
8	Some Days You Eat the Bear and Some Days the Bear Eats You (1974) more music like this by Iain Matthews Ian Matthews' fifth solo effort since leaving Matthews' Southern Comfort, Some Days You Eat the Bear and Some Days the Bear Eats You continues the country-rock of its predecessor, the Michael Nesmith-produced Valley Hi, but with more emphasis on the L.A. singer/songwriter sound and less on straightforward country. Though both records were recorded ... see all copies from $9.00!
9	Valley Hi (1973) more music like this by Iain Matthews With ex-Monkee Michael Nesmith at the helm and an array of C&W sidemen on hand, Ian Matthews recorded what is probably his most overtly country album to date, 1973's Valley Hi. The record opens with a pair of tracks -- his own "Keep on Sailing" and the traditional "Old Man at the Mill" -- that had been scheduled to appear on the second release by ... see all copies from $9.00!
10	Stealin' Home (1978) more music like this by Iain Matthews Following two less than thrilling releases for Columbia, Stealin' Home is somewhat of a return to form for Ian Matthews. Recorded for Rockburgh Records in the U.K., and co-produced by Matthews, along with label owner and former cohort Sandy Roberton, the album veers away from the tepid jazz-tinged pop of its predecessor, continuing what seemed to ... see all copies from $5.00!
11	God Looked Down (1996) more music like this by Iain Matthews In the wake of his 1988 comeback -- an entire record dedicated to the work of Jules Shear -- Iain Matthews seemed to gain confidence and momentum as a writer, beginning with 1990's Pure and Crooked. Of the three albums that followed, two of them, including God Looked Down, are made up solely of his own material (although the basic melody of "So ... see all copies from $5.78! new only from $21.90!
12	Nights in Manhattan (And Points West) (1997) more music like this by Iain Matthews Originally released in the late '80s as a mail-order-only cassette entitled Ian Matthews Live (he changed the spelling of his first name shortly thereafter), Nights in Manhattan (recorded in New York City in May of 1988) was reissued in 1997 with four added tracks that were recorded live two and a half years later in California (hence the "And ... see all copies from $4.65!
13 view cover	Spot of Interference (1980) more music like this by Iain Matthews With his previous outing, the overly polished Siamese Friends (1979), Ian Matthews failed to capitalize on the Top 20 success of "Shake It," from his 1978 release, Stealin' Home. He quickly returned the following year with a new U.S. label, a new direction, and a new album, Spot of Interference. His third straight record produced by Sandy Roberton ... see all copies from $8.99! new only from $8.99!

15	Hit and Run (1976) more music like this by Iain Matthews This rather directionless record has Matthews covering himself ("Tiger Will Survive"), sounding like David Crosby (Terry Reid's "The Frame") and affecting a disco beat on a song that's very reminiscent of "Lady Marmalade" ("Times"). Still, long-time fans shouldn't write this one off. Jim Worbois, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.49!
16	Shake It (1978) more music like this by Iain Matthews see all copies from $2.29!
17 view cover	Shook (1983) more music like this by Iain Matthews Nearly ten years removed from his folk and country-rock days, Shook, with its synth-based new wave, may have seemed like Ian Matthews' most unexpected solo album to date, but Spot of Interference (1980), and especially his work with the band Hi-Fi, more than hinted at this direction. Like the majority of records that rely on technology, there's ... see all copies from $6.75! new only from $6.75!
18	Go for Broke (1975) more music like this by Iain Matthews More a hodge-podge than a proper album, Matthews gives us a mix of originals and mostly uninspired covers. One exception to the covers is one from the often overlooked Tim Moore (whose first two albums on Asylum are worth looking for). Still, this is mediocre at best.

20 view cover	Journeys from Gospel Oak (1972) more music like this by Iain Matthews In 1972, several years after leaving both Fairport Convention and his own group, Matthews Southern Comfort, Iain Matthews was once again struck with a case of musical wanderlust and decided to pack in his solo career and form a new group, Plainsong. At the time, Matthews still owed an album to Vertigo Records, and rather than give them Plainsong's ... see all copies from $21.93!
