Southern Comfort and Plain-
song years after their original
runs. When asked why he de-
cided to bring those bands back
he said, “Mostly because we
didn’t get it right the first time
and I believe in completing
circles. With Matthews’ South-
ern Comfort, I’ve resisted being
a heritage act for 40 years and
now it’s time to dig that furrow.
We’ve recently finished a new
album, Like a Radio, and later
this year we’ll begin taking it to
the streets.”
“If nothing else, it’s fun to keep
changing horses,” he added.
“Keeps it all fresh and vital.”
He recently found himself re-
visiting his career (over 50 years
in the music business) when
someone suggested that he cre-
ate “memento boxes” for sale.
He wound up assembling a half
dozen boxes or so, each crafted
for a specific time period with
photographs, newspaper and
magazine clippings, show tick-
ets, and other memorabilia from
show tickets to concert posters.
