  • Description

    A stunning new solo album from Iain Matthews and a fine addition to a discography that stretches through Fairport Convention, Matthews Southern Comfort and Plainsong.

    'The Art of Obscurity' - Iain Matthews' first new release in his remarkable fifth decade of recording and performing music and his first solo album in many years, was recorded in Austin, Texas with producer Bradley Kopp (Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely & Tish Hinojosa). The 12 tracks highlight his knack for acoustic folk with jazzy undertones - capped off by his rich singing voice and reflective and insightful lyrics.

    Iain proudly declares that The Art of Obscurity "absolutely sits up there with my four or five finest recorded moments." In the sleeve-notes, he states, "The Art of Obscurity will be my last solo album. It will however, not be my final recording. Music is in my blood. Music motivates me. Music is my mistress."
