He told a story that began with Joni Mitchell dropping by the house in Laurel canyon to hang out, and ended with finishing Best of My Love at a recording studio in England, ‘and that’s the first gold record I had anything to do with.’
I didn’t know how well he sings.

That’s gonna make things difficult up in here. ..
Thanks for spoon-feeding it to me, Lucas
I wanted to post a ‘prequel cover’, of sorts. . .or the earlier, almost unknown version of a well-loved song. The Eagles beautifully covered Ian Matthews’ version of, “Seven Bridges Road.” I think you’ll find they were pretty faithful to the prequel cover’s arrangement.
Technically, this is not the original. . .the man who wrote it, Steve Young, also recorded it in 1969, four years before Matthews.
Thanks! I was a fan when he played with Fairport Convention.
Back then he was Ian McDonald, then he changed his name to Ian Matthews. Twenty years later, he changed it again to Iain Matthews.
As an aside, a friend of mine introduced himself the other day as "Jan… or Yan."
Geez, pick a name and stick with it…
I recently heard the They Might Be Giants cover of “Savoy Truffle” and loved it. BTW, KMSU Minnesota is in the middle of a They Might Be Giants marathon right now.
I’ve always loved that song. Interesting cover!
