Over the next decade, Reid switched to different labels in search of a winning formula. "Seed of Memory" was released by ABC Records in 1976, and produced by Graham Nash (ABC filed for bankruptcy the week the album was released), and "Rogue Waves" was produced by Chris Kimsey for Capitol Records in 1979. Reid retired his solo career in 1981 to concentrate on session work, appearing on albums by Don Henley, Jackson Browne and Bonnie Raitt. In 1991, Reid returned with producer Trevor Horn for the WEA album "The Driver". The album featured a cover version "Gimme Some Lovin'" which also appeared on the soundtrack for the Tom Cruise movie "Days of Thunder" by Tony Scott. In the 1990s, he also toured the US and Hong Kong with Mick Taylor. "Rich Kid Blues" was the eponymous song on an album released by Marianne Faithfull, produced by Mike Leander in 1984 but unreleased for 14 years.
