Matchbook is the debut solo studio album by Australian singer-guitarist, Ian Moss, a member of pub rockers, Cold Chisel.
[5] Moss described the album's sound to Beryl Cook of The Canberra Times, "it's definitely fairly R&B with a white soul edge to it, with a hint of rock and roll and plenty of big guitar over the top.
[7] A limited edition white vinyl version of Matchbook was released on 1 June 2018.
[9] Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, found the album displayed Moss' "exemplary, controlled guitar technique, but also highlighted his soulful voice ... [he] handled all lead vocals with considerable style and authority".
The music on the album is mainly blues-influenced rock, although some tracks, such as the funky 'Mr Rain', break away from the mould.
