Terry Reid's second album, Terry Reid (1969), is regarded by critics as his best work. Reid toured the United States again with The Rolling Stones American Tour 1969 and appeared at the infamous Rolling Stones concert at Altamont Music Festival. Reid, however, became involved in a dispute with producer Mickie Most, who wanted Reid to become a balladeer, and to strictly follow his own formula; the same problem the Yardbirds had experienced with Most years earlier. Reid then left England and settled in California to sit out the remainder of his contract with Most, making only sporadic live performances during that period. In 1970, he returned briefly to England to perform at the Isle of Wight Festival. In 1973, Reid returned with a new contract with Atlantic Records and a new album entitled River. Produced by Yes's Eddie Offord, the album received favourable reviews, but was a commercial flop.
