Paul Mattox

According to this online auction of a vinyl pressing of this album, this man was killed in a motorcycle accident in Daytona Beach (not sure what year). Apparently, he wrote and arranged all the songs on his albums by himself. 

Update: Paul Mattox himself posted on our Facebook page that this story of his passing is fabricated, and indeed he is alive and well!

Genre: Blues Rock / Southern Rock

  3. He's not dead. I'm his daughter and as of the time of this writing, I can tell you he lives lives in Texas, just outside of Austin. It's so funny that so many places online, I see it listed that he died in a motorcycle accident. It's always a good laugh for us.
