Prog Temple present a reissue of Southern Comfort's self-titled album, originally released in 1971. As Matthews' Southern Comfort, this superb British band enjoyed a massive worldwide hit with "Woodstock" in October 1970. Not long after the departure of Iain Matthews, the band decided to continue, recording Frog City in 1971 (PT 8014CD), followed by this laid-back, country-styled effort, which was also released in 1971 in December. It makes a long overdue return to CD here, together with background notes and images.

With connections to psych legends Harsh Reality, Marmalade, Smile and Spooky Tooth, Southern Comfort had already weaved a web of their own in the annals of rock music as well as achieving a number one single with "Woodstock." Frog City was the band's heavily impressive second LP from 1971, establishing the band in their own right and revealing a plethora of musical talent that had sprung from the psychedelic underground in the late '60s. Their full story is presented here for the first time with Frog City making its debut appearance on CD. Digitally remastered. Includes detailed liner notes.

2011 repress. Big Walter Horton (also known as Walter "Shakey" Horton) is one of the most legendary Chicago blues harmonica players of all time, and a pioneer in the field of amplified harmonica. Recorded in the UK in 1968, and released in 1969, Southern Comfort is a superb showcase for his talents, as well as those of bassist Jerome Arnold (the Butterfield Blues Band), drummer Jessie C. Lewis (Otis Rush) and trailblazing guitarist Martin Stone (Savoy Brown and Mighty Baby). Though mostly a superb blues set, it's best-known today for the epic closing track -- one of the most mind-blowing psychedelic workouts ever recorded.
