about
Now here’s a cover album with a few interesting angles to it.
First there is the fact that Matthews Southern Comfort have a, let’s call it: Woodstock history. Well over 6 million spotify streams confirm the legendary status of Matthews Southern Comfort’s global hit.
And of course: although this collection is called the Woodstock Album, the song itself is not featured on this album as it was written post festival and therefor never performed at Mac Yasgur’s farm.
In 2022 MSC were looking for a way to reactivate the band as a viable and touring unit again. The concept they came up with was a Matthews Southern Comfort re-interpretation of songs that were all performed at the Festival by artists like Joe Cocker, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Jimi Hendrix, John Sebastian and The Grateful Dead.
The songs very much speak for themselves, as do these new versions with a distinct Matthews Southern Comfort signature.

Serpent's Tears
by Richard Thompsonsupported by 11 fans who also own “The Woodstock Album”
There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older. Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit.

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompsonsupported by 8 fans who also own “The Woodstock Album”
John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser. Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this. Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?). With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP.
