Superlungs My Supergirl/Silver White Light/July/Marking Time/Stay With Me Baby/Highway 61 Revisited-Friends/ May Fly/Speak Now Or Forever Hold Your Peace/Rich Kid Blues
The self titled second album from British rock vocalist and guitarist Terry Reid. Incredibly, it is reported that he declined invitations to join both Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. (US:147)
“Every song is great especially Stay With Me Baby. His vocal range is amazing and the tone and the pure sound of his voice will knock you out.”
“Terry Reid is undoubtedly one of the best, least heard vocalists of the late 60s. At once powerful and subtle, the cuts on this album can only leave you scratching your head about why we never heard more from him. He's backed by a terrific band."
“This album is outstanding for someone so young. His talent and passion could not be held back, even by the absolutely shameful and shoddy production of Mickie Most. After thirty years I still put my vinyl copy on the turntable and play Speak Now Or Forever Hold Your Peace as loud as I can take it. Truly one of the great rock songs of any period.”
“Terry Reid is one of the greatest vocalists/songwriters of all-time. Its a shame he never broke through as he should have, or could have, if he had competent management. The stylistic range he displays from song to song and even within songs is incredible. The vocals stand out on every track.”
“His voice, flat out, is a powerhouse, and on this, his second album, Terry Reid, is full of heat. He has a pleading voice, brimming with feeling that just soars. This is an excellent album by an underrated and relatively unknown artist.”
“Similar in sound and style to the debut, but with no real standouts this time around. It's still fairly hard edged semi-commercial rock, featuring raspy vocals, and again, little period flavour.”
“Only 19 when he made this masterpiece. Just about every song is quality. His strength on this album is gut wrenching vocals on top of ringing power chords. Almost everyone who attempts to sing fails to hold a candle to this guy. He also wrote great songs, some of which can be found on this, his second album.”
