Ian Matthews - Siamese Friends 1979 (UK, Pop-Rock)
Ian Matthews (Iain Matthews McDonald, now called Iain Matthews) is an English vocalist, guitarist and songwriter. He began his career as a vocalist at Fairport Convention (1967-1969), then created his own country folk group - Matthews' Southern Comfort (1969-1971, available on the site ), then recorded solo (first album in 1971), then created again - folk group Plainsong (1972-1973), then washed down, moved to Los Angeles and finally took up solo work, sometimes creating short-lived projects (for example, Hi-Fi with David Surkamp, ex-Pavlov's Dog) ... I present the album of Matthews from the end of the 70s, where he had nothing left of catri-folk.
