 (1 Customer Review)
IF YOU SAW THRO' MY EYES is the 1971 solo album from Ian Matthews, who was once a member of the bands Fairport Convention, Plainsong, and Matthews Southern Comfort.
This limited-edition Japanese CD is a digitally remastered reissue with a replica of the album's original artwork.
One-time Fairport Convention member and leader of the short-lived Matthews' Southern Comfort, singer-songwriter Ian Matthews released this album, his official solo debut, in 1971. Though Matthews is from the U.K. and cut his teeth in that most English of folk-rock acts mentioned above, his own work has much more in common with the twangy, laid-back country-rock (see the Gene Clark-esque opening track, "Desert Inn") of the Laurel Canyon scene than it does with the traveling minstrel jams in which his fellow Englishmen were indulging at the same time. Interestingly, although he was ultimately booted from the band, Matthews gets some help here from Fairport Conventioneers Richard Thompson and Sandy Denny. The stellar California-based label Water reissued the album in 2007.
One of the founding members of Fairport Convention, Ian Matthews left that group in 1969 (during the recording of Unhalfbricking) to pursue a solo career. Originally released on Vertigo, 1971's If You Saw Thro' My Eyes was Matthews' fourth post-Fairport
CD comes in Jpn LP Sleeve.

Audio Remasterer: Gary Hobish.Uncut (p.96) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Mixing his own pleasantly, measured songs with choice covers from the pens of lesser-knowns like Richard Farina and Eric Anderson, IF YOU SAW THRO' MY EYES...benefits from renewed association with an inspired Richard Thompson..."
Record Collector (magazine) (p.94) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "IF YOU SAW THRO' MY EYES tips its hat to The Band and Gram Parsons, while still retaining an oblique Englishness, thanks mainly to Matthews' sweet voice..."

Disc 2 contains NOW WE ARE 3, Plainsong's previously unreleased second album.
Ian Matthews' post-Fairport Convention quartet Plainsong only produced two records (not counting their competent but mediocre 1995 reunion album) before breaking up in the mid-'70s, but both 1972's In Search of Amelia Earhart and Now We Are 3 -- the latter is issued here for the very first time -- contain some of the most flawless ...

Many of the legends of acoustic guitar in the 20th century have already passed on -- John Fahey, Robbie Basho, Ali Farka Toure. Due partially to his spare recording career, Peter Walker's own reputation has not always been as well known as those of said giants, but his own influence has been considerable. A Raga for Peter Walker -- a tribute album that, in a nice touch, not only consists of work composed by its contributors rather than ...

$19.79 
The first solo album from Fleetwood Mac singer/songwriter Daniel David Kirwan has the future producer for Human League and Buzzcocks, Martin Rushent, utilizing those skills here, as well as engineering. The sound is crystal clear, and a feather in the cap for Rushent as well as Kirwan. It starts off with an uncharacteristic "Ram Jam City," which has more Lindsey Buckingham sounds than one would expect, especially since the two guitarists come from two different musical worlds. "Odds and Ends" is more lighthearted, ...

The LoveliesLiv Lovely - vocals, guitarBarb Lovely - vocals, bassBilly Backes - drums   Liv Lovely prefers that you express a strong opinion about her band, the Lovelies.   "We're not interested in obtaining middle-of-the-road fans," Liv says. "We'd rather have people hate us or love us."   The Milwaukee trio's new album, White Leather, will likely confirm you as a lover. As Liv says, "There's a lot of black and white on this album, but not a lot of gray."  This is high-contrast rock 'n' roll. Liv's voice conveys both sweet melodies and flat affect, while bassist Barb Lovely's harmonies paint a matter-of-fact layer of brightness; instruments bring the hammer down but wrap the blow in velvet.    White Leather polishes the elements that have been present in the Lovelies ...

Its path beckons and unity lies in motion with open eyes. Each breath revives - life when drawn, spirit when released." (Prose of Sa'adi, 13th.C.E)A sophisticated taut bond has evolved between Persian music and poetry since the thirteenth century. It is through the weaves of this bond that tones and rhythms flow from one realm to the other, where rhythms are determined by the transformation of the syllabic weights of verses through an ancient rhythmic compositional ...
