Barely Livin' (Single) - (2023)

His album, ‘Open Road‘, is further proof that Matthew is continuing to hone his formidable chops. Matthew rips it up on the title track, which reminds me of a Delaney & Bonnie style Eric Clapton tune, and I say this with admiration, since that is one of my favorite Clapton eras. ‘On My Way’, is just great rock ‘n roll, in sort of a Skynyrd vein. ‘I Think Of You’, a beautiful ballad of lost love, and hope. Then there is some extreme angst in ‘Workin’ It Out’. A really interesting production, and once again, some killer guitar playing, and amazing vocals. Every song on the album has something special that sets it apart, and makes this a complete package. I’ve listened to all the songs several times, and I continue to hear things I hadn’t noticed before. There’s so much great music on this recording. I can’t recommend it enough. Check it out, I know you’ll feel the same!” -Pat Simmons, The Doobie Brothers
