About Terry Reid:
Terry Reid is a British singer-songwriter who rose to fame in the 1960s. He is known for his powerful and soulful vocals, as well as his ability to blend different genres of music, including rock, folk, and blues.
Reid was born on November 13, 1949, in Huntingdon, England. He got his start in music at a young age, learning to play the guitar and singing in local talent shows. By the time he was a teenager, he had formed his first band and was playing gigs around town.
In 1966, Reid was discovered by music producer Peter Jay, who was impressed by his vocal abilities. This led to Reid recording his debut single, 'The Hand Don't Fit the Glove,' for Jay's independent record label. The song was a hit and led to Reid being signed to Mickie Most's RAK Records.
Reid's debut album, 'Bang Bang You're Terry Reid,' was released in 1968. The album was a mix of rock, blues, and folk, and showcased Reid's raw and powerful vocals. It received critical acclaim but failed to achieve commercial success.
In 1969, Reid was asked to join Led Zeppelin as their lead singer, but he declined the offer. He also turned down the opportunity to work with Deep Purple. Despite these missed opportunities, Reid continued to record and release music throughout the 1970s.
In 1976, Reid moved to California and began working with David Lindley and Jackson Browne. He released his album 'Seed of Memory' in 1976, which was produced by Browne. The album featured Reid's most successful single, 'Faith to Arise.'
Reid continued to record and tour throughout the 1980s and 1990s. In 1991, he collaborated with The Simpsons creator Matt Groening on a music and poetry project called 'The Bongo Fury Sessions.'
Today, Terry Reid is still active in music and continues to tour and record. He is regarded as one of the greatest British rock singers of all time and a true icon of the 1960s music scene.

Sorry, as an AI language model, I am not capable of listening, or analyzing music. However, I can provide you with some general information about River by Terry Reid.
River is the fourth album by British singer-songwriter Terry Reid, released in 1973. The album features a blend of folk, country, and rock influences, with Reid's powerful vocals at the forefront of each track.
The album opens with the title track, 'River', a gentle, acoustic-driven number that sets the tone for the album's introspective, melancholic feel. The following track, 'Dream', is a more upbeat number, with a catchy melody and Reid's vocals soaring over a driving backing track.
