Tigers Will Survive, Ian Matthews' second release of 1971, and fifth in less than three years, continues the Anglo-American folk-rock
that he began in 1968 with Fairport Convention. Following his departure from the band in early 1969, Matthews' style quickly veered
from the British traditional direction that Fairport was headed, gravitating more toward the American singer/songwriter scene that was
the source for much of the group's material in their early days, keeping him closer to the mid-Atlantic mix of What We Did on
Our Holidays (his last record with the band). If You Saw Thro' My Eyes, his previous album, reunited him with members of his old band,
as well as others from the revolving Fairport/Fotheringay cast, but this time out, with the exception of Richard Thompson's
accordion on a couple of tunes (credited as Woolfe J. Flywheel), he opts for the backing of the English rock band Quiver.
Tigers Will Survive, though just a rung below If You Saw Thro' My Eyes, is another fine effort for Matthews...(AllMusic)
