Here's a video I found of Ian & Matt playing together.Hi Curby, I'm not sure I read your question quite right. Matt plays on both Ian's Swagger and Meat & Potatoes album and also on Ian's new album Broadside which is released on November 2nd.
What you really might want though is the release a Bigger Slice if Meat and Potatoes. That includes a live DVD of Siegal and his band in concert in the Netherlands and features both Matt Schofield and his keyboard player Johnny Henderson. It's well worth getting!
Gary Moore is meant to have said something about Matt in the same recent guitar magazine interview too... Did anyone read it?I didn't know Matt was on Swagger and Meat and Potatoes. I down-loaded both albums and didn't get a digital booklet with either. Bigger Slice does sound like what I'd like and I'll pick that up alpng with the new album in a couple weeks. Thanks for the info!
As I listen to Ian's fantastic cover of Hank William's "I'm So Lonesome" I'm wonderin' what Gary said about Matt....was it good or bad? VBG.
You surprise me Curby, Matt's playing is quite distinctive and more technical that Ian's, I thought you'd have spotted it. He plays on about half the songs on each album - good excuse to give them another listen!
Matt said on his website: "I don't think we'll be hearing from Gary Moore somehow - anyone read his mention of me in Guitar & Bass a couple of months ago?"
I did not feel it was the right place to ask him to elaborate! Maybe someone here can tell us...?
