The Art Of Obscurity

• Track Listing

2014 album from the British singer/songwriter. While probably best remembered in the United States for his 1978 smash "Shake It", Iain Matthews has been a worldwide music icon for over 45 years. Whether as a founding member of Fairport Convention, Matthews Southern Comfort, Plainsong or as a solo artist, Matthews has taken listeners on a journey with each recording. Recorded in his adopted home of Austin, Texas with producer Bradley Kopp (Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely, and Tish Hinajosa), this 12 track release highlights Matthews' knack for acoustic Folk with jazzy undertones capped off by his rich singing voice and reflective and insightful lyrics.
