Duncan - As you know I too am a big fan of Matt - one of the most versatile blues guitarist anywhere.  I especially like the stuff he's done with Ian Siegal but can't find any cds of the two.  I was wondering if you could steer me in the right direction to get some.
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! smile
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! lol Maybe someone here can tell us...?

Duncan - I know I should know better, but I guess I need to listen to MS more often.  Those Nugene downloads of both Ian and Matt were very good - now I need to go back and listen to Swagger and Meat and Potatoes some more.

Jeff, I am in the room between them. I overhear constant muttering about BBM not getting a fair shake and something about Led Zeppelin being overrated? There's curmudgeons and there's grim-assed curmudgeons. They be those...

Just checked Swagger - Matt plays on the songs Swagger, Mortal Coil Shuffle, I Can't Believe You Wanna Leave, Horse Dream (Swamp) , I DOn't Know What You Got, plus banjo on Curses.

I don't know what Gary said about Matt, anyone have the interview?
