The only reference I had to Terry was his contribution to "Days Of Thunder" soundtrack.
But this english gentleman began his career in the late 60's, and has been erratic.
Due to the movie & soundtrack success, Reid won a contract to launch this album 12 years after his last LP.
Opens with a beautiful mid-tempo AOR ballad, followed by the best album track, a very good AOR which seems recorded in 1986, sounds like the best Tony Carey.
Then an acoustic ballad, composed and produced by Gerard McMann, 4th track is a Waterboys cover, very well done, faithful to the original but with a special touch.
Here are some rockers, alternating with nice ballads.
Another highlight is the closing song: 'The Driver', which is none other than the original version (written by Terry) of 'Last Note Of Freedom' performed by David Coverdale to Days Of Thunder OST. Lyrics were changed (and title song) to conform what happens in the movie script.
Reid has a raspy voice, yet very melodic and ethereal.
Almost entirely masterfully produced by Trevor Horn.
Out Of Print.
Recommended.
