Title: shake your neighbourhood
Review: Immediately preceding the ex-Fairport Convention founder member's next important stage (Hi-Fi supergroup) - this excellent album in 1978 came out on a cute Mushroom label, yielded one terrific movie theme ("Shake It") and generally went to prove Matthews' own distaste at being categorized. If not for the hate of folk (how come?), than for the sake of his character, Ian (nowadays spelled Iain) Matthews goes wonderfully electric, disarmingly tuneful and captivating rhythmic. Not to mention awesome baritone sax to attenuate Matthews' tenor. Arguably, all-time best tenor in world pop, Matthews softly pumps emotion into "Shake It" till it bursts into refrain. It's all yours now.
