Plainsong (band)
Plainsong was originally a British country rock/folk rock band, formed in early 1972 by Ian (later Iain) Matthews, formerly of Fairport Convention; Andy Roberts, previously of The Liverpool Scene; Dave Richards; and Bob Ronga. The original group split up before the end of 1972 but, since the early 1990s, Matthews and Roberts intermittently performed and recorded together, with other musicians, as Plainsong
==The original band==
Matthews had been a member of Fairport Convention between 1967 and 1969, and then left to work solo, soon afterwards forming his own band, Matthews Southern Comfort. After that band split up, he recorded two solo albums, ''If You Saw Thro' My Eyes'' and ''Tigers Will Survive'' in 1971, before forming Plainsong, with Roberts, Richards and Ronga, in early 1972. The band were signed by Elektra Records, and recorded an album, ''In Search of Amelia Earhart''. The album mixed songs by both Matthews and Roberts with covers, including versions of "Red River Dave" McEnery's song "Amelia Earhart's Last Flight", Paul Siebel's "Louise", and Jerry Yester and Judy Henske's "Raider". The album also included "True Story of Amelia Earhart's Last Night", a Matthews song based on research that suggests that Amelia Earhart on her round-the-world flight may have been spying on Japanese bases in the Pacific islands; and "Even the Guiding Light", a response to Richard Thompson's "Meet on the Ledge".
The album was critically well-received but was not a commercial success.〔(Biography by Chris Woodstra at Allmusic.com )〕 The group toured extensively with drummer Roger Swallow and began recording a second album, but Matthews and Richards disagreed on the direction the album should take, Ronga left before the sessions were completed, and the band broke up.〔( Andy Roberts website: Plainsong )〕 Matthews and Roberts each then began recording again as solo artists.
''In Search of Amelia Earhart'' was reissued on CD in 2001. Several albums of archive recordings of Plainsong have also been released on CD since the 1990s, including ''... And That's That'', comprising recordings made for the band's unreleased second album.
