LP – Reissue On 180g Black Vinyl

River is the third studio album by English vocalist Terry Reid. It is considered a masterpiece which brought Reids funky folk blues shifting and evolving into a sort of jazz abstraction.

The first four tracks present a relaxed groove made up of songs which largely appear mostly unfinished, as if they were jams between friends, whereTerry Reid and his musicians are intent on coming up with ideas and experimenting with riffs. By incorporating some elements of Brazilian music into the melody and rhythm, the remaining compositions display a sweet and unfinished power. Especially with the last two romantic and melancholic songs, Dreams and Milestones, where the enchanting Reids voice is accompanied only by an acoustic guitar.
