Although Iain Matthews hadn't realised it at the time, „Walking A Changing Line" was one of the most important of his career. A comeback of sorts. It was his one and only concept album and it reaps dividends until today. Beneath his band cooperations with "Fairport Convention", "Plainsong", "HiFi" and "Matthews Southern Comfort" he always found time to work on his solo albums. On "Walking A Changing Line" he reinterpreted the songs of American singer/songwriter Jules Shear in his own and unique way. This re-release of the original album from 1988 contains tons of bonustracks on 2 CDs (demos, outtakes, live-recordings), careful digitally remastered and in a beautiful digipack with a 16page booklet, unpublished fotos and extended linernotes by Iain himself.
