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.
You can download the show from Spotify, Stitcher or
iTunes (search for “Love That Album podcast”) or from the website at http://lovethatalbum.blogspot.com.
My huge
thanks to Bill for bringing his eloquence and insight to the show – he’s
definitely someone I want more on the show. You can catch Supporting Characters
at http://www.nowplayingnetwork.net/supportingcharacters.
He speaks to authors, podcasters, critics and historians about their work in
relation to cinema.
He also did
a brief run of shows interviewing crew members of his favourite film, David
Lynch’s “Blue Velvet” called From The Neighborhood which you can find at http://www.nowplayingnetwork.net/neighborhood

If you’d consider writing an iTunes review we’d be
immensely grateful. However, it’d be even better if you told a friend about the
podcast – at a barbecue, over coffee, while hitting a six, on social media….whatever
way you choose, consider me grateful.
If you enjoy what you hear, please tell a friend or
ten to tune in.
