Iain Matthews stands as one of the defining voices of British folk rock-an artist who consistently followed his own path. His journey began with Fairport Convention, yet he soon moved on: achieving international success with Matthews Southern Comfort and their hit version of "Woodstock," only to leave the band at the height of its popularity. Projects such as Plainsong further established his reputation as an independent musical storyteller. In the early 1970s,

Matthews relocated to the United States, where producer Michael Nesmith shaped his solo album Valley Hi-later becoming his most successful release, yet one that never fully reflected his artistic vision.

Decades later, Matthews returns to these songs. With Return To Upper Street: Valley Hi Reimagined, he records them anew-closer to his original intentions, more direct, more personal. A timeless work about artistic integrity-and the rare opportunity to revisit and redefine one"s own legacy.
