Review of Iain Matthews : Tigers Will Survive 1971 Found Former Fairport Convention Lead Singer Ian Matthews Not Only Extremely Prolific but Surprisingly Consistent. Tigers Will Survive, Originally Released on Vertigo in November of that Year, is No Exception. Featuring Backing from British Band Quiver (Which Included Bruce Thomas, Later of the Attractions, and Tim Renwick, who Played with David Bowie Among Others). Tigers Will Survive, as was Matthews' Style, is a Brilliant Collection of Originals and Choice Covers (Including Eric Andersen's Classic "Close the Door Lightly When You Go" and an a Capella Version of the Crystals' "da Doo Ron Ron". Mellow Folk-rock Jams of the Highest Order.

I've never cared much for British folk music, and I find English band's attempts at country music laughable for the most part,but there's always an exception that proves the rule and this guy might just be it. Matthews Southern Country was Iain's first post-Fairport Convention attempt at country music and the result was pretty tepid. By the time he began recording solo for Electra Records in the early seventies he seemed to have found his voice and his style.There are excellent cover versions here of Tom Waits, Jesse Winchester, and even the dreaded Steely Dan. Iain sails through them with ease and contributes several worthy songs of his own. The version of "Seven Bridges Road" here was lifted intact by the Eagles a few years later.Iain Matthews continues to enjoy modest success to this day and his musical output is never less than enjoyable, but he has never surpassed the music collected here on this highly recommended CD.
