Iain Matthews and BJ Baartmans: old friends, new team

Iain Matthews and BJ Baartmans conspired and came up with [distant chatter],
out on MIG Records (UK: Talking Elephant)

Singer songwriter Iain Matthews and guitarist/singer songwriter/producer BJ Baartmans met in 2003, shortly after the former had relocated to the south of Holland. BJ was accompanying touring American singer songwriter, Eugene Ruffolo in a local music cafe and the two were introduced after the show. A mutual respect for each other’s talents developed and they have been playing and recording together more or less since then. Mostly in the all Dutch line up of Matthews Southern Comfort, which they formed together in 2005.

Oh Susanna's Sleepy Little Sailor re-release CD and Vinyl

Street date is September 4

It has been our privilege to work (with our good friends at Continental Record Services) with Oh Susanna on some of her enchanting albums like Short Stories, Soon The Birds and Namedropper. But to be honest we have always been jealous of the people at HOT Records or Fargo who did such an excellent job introducing this great artist to us all by promoting her Sleepy Little Sailor album.
