4.0 out of 5 stars Coulda...shoulda.., February 22, 2001

By	David Kinney (San Francisco, Ca. United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I picked this record up in 1969 based solely on a quote I had read from Aretha Franklin saying Terry Reid was the best white soul singer she had ever heard.That was good enough for me, and while I can suggest other possible nominees for the "best" title,it would be splitting hairs cause Terry Reid is Really Terrific. I'll never know why he was'nt hugely popular at the time but I'll console myself listening to his CDs now.This was his first release and it showcases Terry's talent, not only as a great vocalist but as a formidable guitar player and songwriter as well. His song "Without Expression" is the best thing on a CD of good originals and great cover versions. Sonny Bono's "Bang Bang" defies description, "Summertime Blues"..um..defies description. You get the idea I think. He's soulful and bluesy, and can handle a ballad too.He sounds like no one else (Steve Marriott comes closest, but not really)and you need to hear him.Why only four stars then? Because Terry's self titled second album is even better!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Record You Never Heard, May 3, 2000

By	Jean Norton (Lawrenceville, Ga.) - See all my reviews

If you don't buy any more c.d.s this year buy this one. The vocals and music range from the softest to the hardest. This music was 1968 in a nutshell. Of all the versions of "Summertime Blues", Terry Reid's is perhaps the best. "Without Expression" alone is worth the price of this disc, and you get so much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars An unknown classic, December 20, 2001

By	Pamela Cadenhead (Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews

I bought the original LP of this album in 1969 after hearing Terry Teir open for the Rolling Stones. The fact that it contained Tinker Taylor was enough to sell the album as far as I was concerned. As it turned out, the entire album is fantastic, with no weak tracks to be found. It has lost none of its touch over the years. Give it a listen. You will not be dissappointed. that's a promise.
