Southern Comfort - Southern Comfort
Review by Matt Kingston
Southern Comfort's self-titled album is a delightful blend of Southern rock, blues, and country. The band's sound is reminiscent of classic rock bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers Band, but with a modern twist.
The album opens with the catchy and upbeat "Back to Louisiana," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. The track features driving guitar riffs and soulful vocals that will have listeners tapping their feet and singing along.
Other standout tracks on the album include the bluesy "Bayou Blues," which showcases the band's impressive musicianship, and the heartfelt ballad "Memories of You," which highlights the band's ability to write poignant and relatable lyrics.

Thank you

Thanks. Great blues album.If you are familiar with the album - Fleetwood Mac in Chicago(1969, ) Walter Shakey Horton played along with FM and did a song titled “I Need Your Love “ which is a really cool live version of the second song on this album “If it Ain’t Me Babe.” It’s great to hear his original studio song; I had no idea that he was in “Southern Comfort.” Their seems to have been several groups with the name Southern Comfort or Mathews Southern Comfort.

Good solid album with one of Savoy Brown's other guitarists. Can't remember if Martin Stone was in Mighty Baby at this time or later, anyway, thanks for uploading!
