from the album Later That Same Year

Originally a British country rock/folk rock band, formed in 1970 by former Fairport Convention singer Ian (later Iain) Matthews.

Their version of the Joni Mitchell song "Woodstock" became a worldwide hit, reaching the top of the UK music charts in October 1970, and also charted in several European countries, as well as reaching No. 5 in Canada, and No. 23 in the Billboard Top 100 in the United States.

Their version of "Woodstock" made it to the top of the British charts on 31 October 1970, replacing Freda Payne's "Band Of Gold" and stayed at the top of the charts for three weeks before being replaced by Jimi Hendrix' "Voodoo Chile". It became Matthews Southern Comfort's one and only No.1 record.

Joni Mitchell never attended Woodstock; she composed the song in a hotel room in New York City, watching televised reports of the festival.

By the time of the North American success of Matthews Southern Comfort's "Woodstock", the band had broken up.
