5.0 out of 5 stars Who cares if you've never heard of him. Buy his stuff., May 24, 1999

1st place in the trilogy of Reid's best albums ("Bang Bang" and "River" flank close behind) with "Rich Kid Blues" being one of his finest moments. An underrated guitarist as well, he is the king of great intro riffs as "Sliver White Light" and most songs on this disc will attest. I'm in the same boat as the other reviewer - I have been searching in vain for a copy of "River" on disc for years (my vinyl is all but inaudible from overuse). Has anyone found one? Does it exist? Ignore any pans you will read about "River"-it's wonderfull-sweet, breezy and soothing, a great summer album and a classic.

When I was a kid in the late 60's I saw Terry Reid open up for Ten Years After at Fillmore West and it was the best show I've ever seen. Reid opened and closed the show, and walked out with the audience and sang in the streets with us at 2 a.m. I listened to his albums and was enthralled by his high, plaintive sad voice for years. I was amazed to see he was playing a little club in LA a few years ago, the Coconut Teazer, and I got a chance to have a beer with him and tell him what joy his music brought me. The last I heard of him was about 1992, when he was in an all-star band kind of thing with Joe Walsh. I guess he was living in LA for awhile. Yeah, don't listen to moron critics who put this guy down, he's one of the best singers who ever lived. Thanks for your music, Terry.

My pick for greatest unknown album. I pulled this one out of a discount bin in 1970 for about $1.50, and then found it as a punchout CD for like three bucks two years ago. Life works that way sometimes.

The album excels in vocals, instrumental work, songwriting, everything but production, by the dread Mickey Most. I don't think anyone has mentioned what an odd song lineup it is: it includes that rarity, a good Donovan cover (that's one for Mickey, to be totally fair), a solid cover of Dylan's "Highway 61" (with Terry making up many of the lyrics as he goes along--!!??!!), that's oddly intertwined with a Reid original, a quirk I've never encountered elsewhere. There's a no less than superb Jerry Ragavoy R&B cover. And there's a bevy of originals--"Mayfly", "Speak Now or Forever Hold your Peace", "Rich Kid Blues"--that equal or surpass any of the covers.

A lot has been made of this album being a "60s" or "Woodstock era" piece, but no--this one strikes me as timeless. There ain't anything like this around today. But there wasn't much like it back then either.
