Ian Moss is better known as the go-to guitarist for Aussie rockers Cold Chisel. After paying dues and a raft of honours and success with Chisel during the late 70's and 80's, that band called time, with lead singer Jimmy Barnes going solo, drummer Steve Prestwich joining fellow Aussies LRB, while Moss and keyboardist Don Walker went off the radar for a number of years. Unperturbed, Moss eventually signed to Aussie label Mushroom for the release of his 1989 debut solo album 'Matchbook', the album produced up in Los Angeles with Chris Lord-Alge at the production helm during 1988.
The Songs
The leading single 'Tuckers Daughter' was released ahead of time (January 1989) to generate interest, which it did to great fanfare. Played constantly on radio and on TV, the song was an easy-sell to most Australian music fans and as expected went to #1 in the Aussie charts.
