A little sad to hear that Terry Reid's passed away at 75. Another broken link. He was famous for not really being famous enough. We live in a peculiar and perverse world. This album (River) is, I think, his best. I still give it a listen now and then. Not sure why but it fills some kind of space when I need whatever it is I need. It does ramble on a bit though. A lot of the music I listened to as a younger man hasn't really aged so well and rests in the shadows, it's brilliance faded, wandering over the hills or lost into the distance. But this album still stands up, fifty years on, in my own critical and dodgy opinion.
