Love That Album Podcast episode 125 - Terry Reid "Seed of Memory"

We here at LTA HQ don’t want any favouritism amongst your podcast choices. We just want to be treated right…or rite.

Welcome to episode 125 of Love That Album Podcast.

I’m joined by host of the brilliant Supporting Characters podcast Bill Ackerman to talk about singer, guitarist and songwriter Terry Reid with a focus to his 1976 album Seed of Memory. Terry is one of those musicians who is unfortunately more known for what he didn’t do than what he did. He SHOULD be a musician revered as any of the 60s and 70s greats. He was loved and admired by the likes of The Rolling Stones (who took him on tour twice while he was still a teenager), Cream, Crosby Stills & Nash, and Aretha Franklin.

Terry was an incredible interpreter of song, but as Bill and I concur, the two albums that cemented him as a songsmith were River from 1973 and Seed of Memory. We talk about his history as it’s an important leadup to the album itself. We “Bang Bang Shoot Down” (it’ll make sense) the “if only he’d taken this path” theorists about his artistic choices and focus on the wonderful music he made, including the unlikely film director who was a champion of this particular record.

Don’t know who Terry is? Listen to the episode and let Bill and I convince you why you need his music in your life.

Love That Album: The Compilation Edition Episode 59 - All The Country Ladies

As the Northern Hemisphere enters the humid wasteland that is the end of July into August, it is time once again for a round up of recent country artists to listen to while drinking beer at dusk. Eric has his recent tattooed, too fast for love, Outlaw Country dames who say what they think, talk about what they see going on and swear. He'd really like to buy any of these women a beer and let them loose on the stories of their music, their time on the road and whatever they want to rant about.

Also, this is the starting of the end of the bonus episodes. The compilation editions are going away at the end of this year, and Eric has some details about what the next couple of months are going to be covering.
