Notes

Castle Music CMQCD 1413 (Expanded Edition 2006)

Billed as a contractual obligation record by the artist, Journeys from Gospel Oak is easily as good as Matthews' best work. It is most assuredly a companion piece to Plainsong's In Search of Amelia Earhart (an album loosely based on the disappearance of Amelia Earhart), this time loosely based around the night Hank Williams died. This album includes such solid tracks as Gene Clark's "Polly," "Bride 1945" by Paul Siebel, and the haunting Jimmy Webb tune, "Met Her on a Plane." A strong (but often overlooked record) and well worth the effort it takes to find a copy.
