Terry Reid--Washington Post Article
« on: 17 Apr 2016, 11:41 pm »
I came across this in today's Washington Post.

I'd never heard of Terry Reid, but after reading the article I Googled away and they guy is quite good--kinda reminds me of Jesse Collin Young.  His claim to fame was saying no to being lead singer for Led Zeppelin, he's struggled ever since.  Pretty amazing how one small decision can impact your future so significantly.

Here's a clip from 2011...

I really like his stuff.  Have a couple of albums.  His cover of the Donovan song is amazing - have that a very long time - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYcMelyOlSQ
