According to the note, he's releasing his final album 77 Rusty Trombones next month. Blowfly's frequent collaborator Tom Bowker is encouraging fans to send notes, art, photos, and more to Reid. Find an address here.

Reid is a prolific artist who wrote for artists like KC & the Sunshine Band, Sam & Dave, Irma Thomas, and many others. He also released a series of singles and solo records under his given name. Blowfly is his mask-wearing, outrageous, sexually-charged persona.
