Description:
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 release and his most accomplished to date. Finding him reunited with former bandmates Sandy Denny and Richard Thompson this album features many fantastic originals and three well chosen covers, including Richard Farina`s Reno Nevada and exemplifies Matthews` unique ability to mix folk, country, blues and pop. A British folk-rock classic back in print. (Water)
