Matthews Southern Comfort: Later That Same Year
John Mendelsohn, Rolling Stone, 15 April 1971
AS HAS been suggested before in these pages, if mellow tuneful close-harmony country-tinged polite-rock of the sort that is considered indispensable by those who own houses in the country with a fireplace and are the recipients of the affections of ladies who cook them organic dinners and wear their wild blonde manes in pigtails much of the time appeals to you as much as it does to me, Matthews Southern Comfort is very much up your alley.
