About this album

A rich, accomplished country-rock set, Some Days You Eat The Bear And Some Days The Bear Eats You finds Iain Matthews refining the blend of folk intimacy, melodic pop and American roots style that defined his early solo work. Issued in 1974, the album shows his gift for reinterpreting material with emotional precision and an easy, unforced grace, from the rueful ache of I Don’t Wanna Talk About It to the open-road pull of Biloxi. With its thoughtful song choices and polished, understated arrangements, it stands as one of Matthews’ most rewarding 1970s records and a fine example of the era’s singer-songwriter crossover sound.
