About this album

Valley Hi is a finely crafted 1973 album that finds Iain Matthews balancing country-rock ease with the intimacy of a singer-songwriter record. Best known from Fairport Convention and Matthews Southern Comfort, Matthews brought a seasoned, gentle voice to material that feels both reflective and assured. The album draws on strong songwriting, including a graceful take on '7 Bridges Road', and benefits from the clarity and restraint that made Matthews such a distinctive interpreter. As part of the early-1970s wave where folk, country and rock intersected, Valley Hi stands as one of his most appealing solo statements.
