Terry Reid, ‘Superlungs’ as he’s affectionately known, is without doubt one of the greatest rock/soul voices this country has ever produced or is indeed likely to. A Terry Reid concert should be a cherished memory for any self-respecting fan of the greats of British music.
THE LATEST RELEASE
BY
TERRY
REID
The Other Side
of the River
A double
LP housed in a Stoughton gatefold "tip-on" jacket. Remastered from
the original analog tapes. Track notes by Terry Reid. 6 never heard Reid
compositions, plus 5 very different alternate takes - all previously
unreleased. British musician Terry Reid is a relatively unsung legend. With his
incredible voice (that earned him the nickname "Superlungs"), spot-on
songwriting, and underrated guitar skills, Reid invented new sounds and others
followed suit. His 1973 LP, River, is an under-the-radar but deeply loved
album. Our special new release, The Other Side Of The River, features all
previously unreleased material from the River sessions, including six
never-before-heard Reid compositions and five very different alternate takes of
tracks from River. Over the decades, as River went in and out of print, there
were rumors of a mythological double album's worth of unreleased material. The
rumors turned out to be true, as the entire album was recorded twice: once with
British producer Eddy Offord and again with the legendary Tom Dowd. The
sessions captured Reid's free-associative mix of folk, blues, rock, jazz,
bossa-nova, soul, and samba, recalling at times Tim Buckley and Van Morrison,
while featuring some remarkable guests including Gilberto Gil on percussion,
Ike & Tina Turner's Ikettes on vocals, and David Lindley, of psych band
Kaleidoscope, on violin. The Other Side Of The River includes songs that even
Terry had forgotten - rockers in the style of the River track "Dean,"
Latin grooves with percussionist Willie Bobo, and beautifully sparse vocal
material not unlike David Crosby's If Only I Could Remember My Name and John
Martyn's Solid Air.

TERRY
REID
LIVE
IN LONDON
Terry
Reid returns annually to London to play a residency at the legendary Ronnie
Scott's club. Putting together a cracking band, Terry has performed two hours
plus sets that have delighted his audiences, and Terry, who says of Ronnie's:
The room has a special quality that allows me to talk to you as if you were in
my own front room, where one conversation leads into another. That, I suppose,
is how I end up playing for over two hours. I must be honest when I say I
treasure those moments I spent with you and the kindness you show me. Live In
London is the fourteen-track result from one of these performances. Terry and
his band perform these songs, spread over two CDs. They capture Terry
(nicknamed Super Lungs) as he takes a journey through an emotional landscape
that starts with The Frame and passes along the way Rain In The Red Lights, his
best known song River, a version of Brian Wilson's Don't Worry Baby and
culminates in a two song finish, Seed of Memory and Don't Know Why. Live In
London captures a unique performer and his band as they deliver a set of songs
that allow them to stretch out and improvise or keep to tight arrangements all
the while performing at the tops of their game. Though a contemporary
recording, this album harks back to an earlier time when performers had a freer
rein on their talents and Terry an amazing singer and raconteur takes full
advantage of the space that his rapt audience and the intimate atmosphere
generated at Ronnie's grants him.

BOOK TRAILER
BOOK REVIEW
-By Literary Titan (5) STARS
The Rock Star Chronicles by Ray Shasho, is a splendid book written by a music enthusiast who has poured their heart and soul into it. It’s a story of a boy who loved rock music, and his obsessive passion of it earned himself the name Rock Raymond. He went to school but instead was schooled in all matters of music while his peers were buried chin-deep in coursework. He then became a radio DJ and has now compiled a book on all interviews he held with Rock gods who raided the airwaves back in the 70s and 80s. It’s a compilation of interviews with outstanding vocalists, legendary guitarists and crazy drummers in the rock music scene. Each interview gives a reader an in-depth view into their personal lives and the philosophies that guide their lives which all serve to humanize these great icons. For readers who are old enough to call themselves baby boomers this book will bring old memories back to life. Millennials, on the other hand, may think of this book as a literal work of the Carpool Karaoke show.
The Rock Star Chronicles is a book I didn’t know I was waiting for. To come across a book that will talk me into trying something new. One brave enough to incite me to venture into new frontiers. This book made me a believer- I am now a bona fide Rock and Roll music fan.
Ray Shasho masterfully gets the interviewees talking. He smartly coaxes answers from them with crafty questions designed to get a story rolling out of them. The artists talk about diverse issues ranging from music, politics, and their social engagements. Having been on the music seen all his life, Ray Shasho knows the buttons to press, how to get them comfortable about talking about their lives.
The book’s cover is befitting of its subject matter with the leather look offering a royal background to the golden letter print. It speaks to how high a level rock music holds in the pecking order- arguably, modern music as we know it has originated from blues and rock music. The second noteworthy thing is the use of high-definition pictures to reference the musician being interviewed in every sub-chapter. This ensures that the book is for both original rock and roll lovers and aspiring new ones. Together is makes for a refreshing and consistently enjoyable read.
I recommend this book to rock music enthusiasts, aspiring musicians wondering what it takes and all readers curious to learn new things by going back in time.
