Matthews' Southern Comfort was a short-lived folk-rock band fronted by English singer-songwriter Ian Matthews.
Later That Same Year was Ian Matthews' third album, and second to be released under the group name Mattews' Southern Comfort. It was a continuation of the mellow country-rock sound he had developed since leaving Fairport Convention, with both strong original songs and covers of material by artists including Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and Jesse Winchester. His guitarist Carl Barnwell also contributed two songs.If Later That Same Year could have been considered his best album yet by that point, it actually showed it with a good dose of commercial success, something Matthews has generally not seen too much of throughout his career. Their cover of Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock" was released as a single, and became a #1 hit in the UK.

Matthews' Southern Comfort was a short-lived folk-rock band fronted by English singer-songwriter Ian Matthews.
Ian Matthews' second album after leaving Fairport Convention was released under the name Matthews' Southern Comfort, rather than as a solo artist. This was originally the title of his first album, and subsequently became the name of his band. They toured together for a couple of years to great acclaim. Stylistically, Second Spring followed much the same formula as its predecessor, with a gentle country-rock sound flavoured here and there by touches of English folk. The actual Matthews' Southern Comfort Band backing him consisted of Carl Barnwell (guitar), Mark Griffiths (guitar), Gordon Huntley (pedal steel), Andy Leigh (bass) and Ray Duffy (drums). Most of the songs were Matthews originals, but it also had fine cover versions of James Taylor's "Something In The Way She Moves" and Sylvia Tyson's "Southern Comfort".
